I was not scared at all.

I’m always looking for the next major hurdle and doing something that the world has never seen.

If you think you can fall, you’re more likely to.

What I’m doing is a natural wonder. If not, there’d be 150 people behind me on the wire.

There’s weight on me to raise the bar, to carry on that legacy. But that’s what drives me. Making sure that no one ever forgets who the Wallendas are.

I have permits to be the first person in the world to walk across the Grand Canyon so that’s a process we’ll start working on. I’d say within three to five years I’ll accomplish that as well.

I’m often very relaxed when I’m on the wire.

I’m one of those people who always tries to overachieve. I want to do more. I want to do bigger things.

I respect what I do deeply. I don’t get nervous to the point of fear.

The mist was so challenging and the winds hit me, definitely more than I expected. It was definitely those winds, you can’t re-enact them, you can’t recreate them. Then my forearms started to tense up and you feel like running.
