In my life, I wanted to meet certain people. I never met Charlie Chaplin, but I met Werner Herzog.

Certainly, in the story of my life, the walk between the Twin Towers was one of the grandest, one of the most memorable, but not solely the grandest and the most memorable.

When I was learning by myself, despite my parents, despite my teachers, despite society, when I was fighting for building my life as a young wire walker at age 16, I didn't have feelings, I had certainties.

That's all any of us are: amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else.

Art is maybe a subversive activity. There is a certain rebellion when you are an artist at heart, even if only in the art of living.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.
