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

I didn't go to school much. I was thrown out of different schools, and my university is the street.

As a high wire walker, I do not allow myself to 'leave the wire' during a performance.

I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.

It's very normal - when you're not used to the world of the high wire, it's very normal to be simply terrified. The reason I'm not is because I've done it for so many years.

It is treacherous on a high wire to change your focus point and suddenly look down.
