“I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest.”

“To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.”

“All these buildings are like mountains I would like to climb, but I am forbidden.”

“Authorities arrest me, release me, and then invite me back to host public events. I think it's interesting.”

“It's a great feeling to know that 100 cops want to stop you doing something and they can't.”

“I make good money: One speech nets me more than what most people make in six months.”

“Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.”

“Life has to be dangerous.”

“I love all people, whatever race they are.”

“With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.”

“We are living in a world where everything is based on security.”

“Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.”

“There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.”

“In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.”

“Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice.”

“Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.”

“Whenever I climb I have to also entertain.”

“We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.”

“When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.”

“I see myself as a climber and an activist.”
