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

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

There's weight on me to raise the bar, to carry on that legacy. But that's what drives me. Making sure that no one ever forgets who the Wallendas are.

You don't have to tell me how long I'm on the wire.

One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.

If you think you can fall, you're more likely to.

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.
