Wire-walking in performance is one thing - I never fell, of course. If I had, I wouldn't be here talking about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's very easy to walk on a wire if you spend a whole lifetime practicing for it.
One of the reasons I wrote 'The Fall' is that climbing's more than a sport, it's a way of life. When you're in it, it's all you think about.
I haven't fallen that much, but when I have, it's usually in the attempt to do something worthwhile. As for recovery, you just have to get up!
When I fall, I fall hard.
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
I never fall down. I always fight.
I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.
I rolled myself up into a tight ball of resistance and it was thus that I went through my school years.
I had done a lot of running in 'Texas Chainsaw' and sword-fighting in 'Percy Jackson,' which taught me to fall properly.
How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray from the light.
