I don't even like walking up a ladder; I'm petrified of heights.

I don't know if anybody has moved up the ladder more quickly than I have.

I've never been one to look up the ladder. I've always looked down the ladder. As long as there's one guy down there, I'm fine.

I care so much less, now, about going up the ladder; if I cared about the ladder I would be doing it all very wrong.

Climbing is what I do.

Not to be too preachy, but I would really recommend to people, if you get the chance, to trust yourselves to leap without a net, because that will build the confidence. You know, you might shock yourself with how much you don't need a net because you can catch yourself.

You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.

I have a stepladder. It's a very nice stepladder but it's sad that I never knew my real ladder.

I just like to catch fish, I don't care if it weighs half a pound or 10 pounds. But I can't do a lot of casting. I can work a jig or a worm. But not for long, especially if the big ones are biting. Those big bass will make it hurt after a while.
