I was not willing to give up because I was born to like taking risks and that is my way of life.
It's a great feeling to know that 100 cops want to stop you doing something and they can't.
To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.
I see myself as a climber and an activist.
I don't want to follow the herd.
When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.

I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.
We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.
We are living in a world where everything is based on security.
People need to learn to live with more risk.
In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.

All these buildings are like mountains I would like to climb, but I am forbidden.
Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.
I love all people, whatever race they are.
When I climb a building, I've been there already, and carefully planned how to start the climb as well as how to do it.
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.
Life has to be dangerous.
