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

On the high wire, within months, I'm able to master all the tricks they do in the circus, except I am not satisfied.

I am not up there by chance. I am there by choice. And I know the wire. And I know my limits. And I am a madman of details.

As a high wire walker, I do not allow myself to 'leave the wire' during a performance.

I am a wire-walker. I can walk any time, anywhere - I'm indestructible.

I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.
