"Adults are constantly—I think it's their job, obviously, to teach children about the world and what you can and cannot do. And I don't think they purposely step on dreams." "I'm never nervous, because the moment you're nervous, you're done." "I can feel my heart beating in my ears, and everything's like hyper-real, and it's just a very, very unique moment." "My goal is to try to push the boundaries of what human beings are capable of doing. Right? It's like an evolutionary step." "We just were figuring it out." "It's really given me a life in a way that I can't even express. And it's made me a very happy person. And it's very special to me because I've gotten to see things from such a special way, and it's given me a life. I mean, it's given me my life." "If for some reason, in the next whatever jumps, it gets taken from me, then it was worth it. It's all worth it, because I'm willing to sacrifice everything because it's given me everything." "Everything just goes tunnel vision to my target." "All of a sudden, it kind of boiled life down to what was important, which was time. That's all that mattered. Nothing else meant anything." "And it was a fascinating thought process because I knew I couldn't make it. Like, there's no way you could hit ground at that speed and survive."
