Kids come up to me all the time and say, 'Once I was going through a really bad time, and I saw you crash and get up, and it inspired me.'

You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short.
