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.

The classical music world is so snobbish.

I was born in a world of opera, theatre, films, poetry, art, and therefore, out of the wire, I made a stage. That's why they call me a high wire artist.

I was born in Bournemouth, England, in 1943.

I listen mostly to classical music.

Robert Kapilow is a born teacher, an enthusiast who can think on his feet, a 110 percent believer in the project at hand ... It’s a cheering thought that this kind of missionary enterprise did not pass from this earth with Leonard Bernstein. Robert Kapilow is awfully good at what he does. We need him.
