When I perform outside, the major problem that could arise is strong wind.I spend months preparing for the types of wind that occur in different locations.

I am the poet of the high wire - I never do stunts; I do theatrical performances.

I was not born into the world of the stuntman and the daredevil; I was born into the world of theater and writing and sculpting and classical music.

I am very sensitive to all form of music, painting, sculpting, dancing, and I love cinema also. For example if I look at the work of the dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, who happens to be a friend of mine, everything he does is inspiring to me.

The practical answer is, no it would be totally impossible for young or foreign people to get access to roof of a building that stands in the heart of a giant city and to put a cable across.

Life should be lived on the edge of life.

I focus, I invent, I transform, I challenge, I attempt, I observe, I perform.
