"To be able to create fully, it's maybe fine that you learn the rules, but you have to forget and to ..." — Philippe Petit

I am fascinated by the engineering. The science of constructing and understanding why it stands. And I am drawn by the madness, the beauty, the theatricality, the poetry and soul of the wire. And you cannot be a wire-walker without mingling those two ways of seeing life.

For me, since I have a life wish, not a death wish, for me, I was not gambling my life. I was doing something much more beautiful. I was carrying my life across.

I was thrown out of different schools because I was practicing my arts - magic, juggling, and the high wire.

What I think tailors the creativity of most people are the rules that we learn from the age we are very small - in school, our parents.
