I am a wire-walker. I can walk any time, anywhere - I'm indestructible.

It's very easy to walk on a wire if you spend a whole lifetime practicing for it.

Usually, when I walk on a wire, I inspect the anchor point on both sides before crossing.

The wire is a safe place for me to be. The street is not. Life is not. It's a rigorous and simple path. It's straight. You don't have meanders like, you know, on the ground, in life.

I rendezvous with the long wire and perform the 'torero walk', gliding my feet, holding the pole away from my body, head high.

Wire-walking in performance is one thing - I never fell, of course. If I had, I wouldn't be here talking about it.

I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.

I started directing on 'The Wire.'

I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.

You don't have to be someone who likes walking a tightrope across the Twin Towers to watch 'Man On Wire.'
