Ballooning isn't a sport; it's a way of life. (People) love their balloons. They tailgate.

Every time you go up it's a different experience. Each flight is an adventure into the unknown. Your destination is irrelevant. It's all about the journey.

I never saw myself as being ambitious, I saw myself as being in love with the profession. I'm a people person. I love to get to know different kinds of people.

We'd love to have people come by on a regular basis. If you want to spend time with our dogs and cats, just come in and say, 'I'm here.' We also have a volunteer orientation program where we train volunteers to help clean cages and help with customer service.

The reason is simple. It's my love for Tony. But you know what? I still enjoy meeting people who respect my career. Trips like this remind me how much I love show business.

Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.
