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.

My parents wanted me to have an honorable profession and not to be a jester.

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

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

Every bit of money that we can bring from our federal transportation budget in Washington back here to Stewart Airport will benefit our local economy and our local residents.

I am quite amazed how, when people earn lots of money, they think they have to spend it on things that give them access to the club constituted by the people who are in their tax bracket.

I'm always glad when people come together to help each other - whether they're raising money for somebody in a bad situation or making a creative piece like a song.

It is a fact that around the world the elites of every country are making money.
