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.
