I once wanted to be a stuntman. I was constantly on the front pages when I was a base jumper. But if I were a stuntman, my name would only appear right at the end of the closing credits, even though I'd risked my life for others.

I feel at home up in the air, just like sailors do at sea and climbers do in the mountains.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

As a little kid, I climbed a lot of trees because I always loved the bird's-eye view.

I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.

Don't live life as a spectator.

People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach.
