Evel Knievel

Marty Stanovich was an honorable man.

My life has been being a daredevil. I am Evel Knievel. I am a daredevil.

All my life people have been waiting around to watch me die.

I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.

I always knew how to draw a crowd.

I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.

People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me.

When you're mad at someone, it's probably best not to break his arm with a baseball bat.

This is a year and a few months after the transplant. Before I had it my doctors told me that it would be the biggest thing that I ever had to face and believe me, when they take your liver out of ya and put another one in it's like replacing a football in your stomach.

Riding a motorcycle on today's highways, you have to ride in a very defensive manner. You have to be a good rider and you have to have both hands and both feet on the controls at all times.

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose its place.

If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass.

I thought I was bulletproof or Superman there for a while. I thought I'd never run out of nerve. Never.

I think these shows with the young kids doing these jumps, doing these fantastic back flips, I think they're absolutely great. They did what I never did.

I recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I'm getting used to the medication.

I know that I'm very lucky to be alive. For 35 or 40 years I've spilt my blood and broke my bones and spent years in hospitals.

I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.

I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

I am a lucky, lucky person.
