What I'm doing is a natural wonder. If not, there'd be 150 people behind me on the wire.
We train very hard under windy conditions. I've actually walked a wire in my backyard with 90-mile-an-hour winds.
This is something no one in the world has ever done.
The impossible is not quite impossible if you put your mind to it.
One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.
One thing that I pride myself on is, everything that I do is completely legit. We go through every channel, and do it the proper way.
One of the things I enjoy is the challenge of Mother Nature.
My great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, was my biggest hero in life, my biggest inspiration behind everything I do.
It's Niagara Falls. It's one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Who wouldn't want to walk across it?
It's about carrying on the legacy and doing something I love and have a passion for.
If you think you can fall, you're more likely to.
If you take suede leather and put it on a piece of steel, and put moisture on it, it actually sticks.
I've trained all my life not to be distracted by distractions.
I've done a lot of practice in wet conditions. I trained in the rain. My grip is okay.
I'm one of those people who always tries to overachieve. I want to do more. I want to do bigger things.
A lot of praying helped me a lot.
I'm often very relaxed when I'm on the wire. There may be some tears because this is a dream of mine.
I feel like I'm on cloud nine right now.
I'd love to come to Australia. I'd love to walk about the Sydney Opera House.
