To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.

Life has to be dangerous.

I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

Authorities arrest me, release me, and then invite me back to host public events. I think it's interesting.

There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.
