What I'm doing is a natural wonder. If not, there'd be 150 people behind me on the wire.

My great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, was my biggest hero in life, my biggest inspiration behind everything I do.

I respect what I do deeply. I don't get nervous to the point of fear.

I have permits to be the first person in the world to walk across the Grand Canyon so that's a process we'll start working on. I'd say within three to five years I'll accomplish that as well.

I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions.

I have never in my life walked with a harness. The weight of the tether, makes it feel like I'm dragging an anchor behind me.

I'm always looking for the next major hurdle and doing something that the world has never seen.
