Improvisation is empowering because it welcomes the unknown. And since what's impossible is always unknown, it allows me to believe I can cheat the impossible.

I don't like to risk my life, so I prepare sometimes for months or sometimes for years. But sometimes after a walk, I look what I have done, and I have a little bit of fear coming to me, just looking at pictures.

Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge - and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope.

When you are a young person, the world is yours. You can do the impossible.

It's impossible, that's for sure. So let's start working.

I am very attracted by the mysterious landscape of Easter Island.

To do a beautiful walk there, I would have to involve the Moai, and the Rapa Nui people who live on the island.
