My great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, was my biggest hero in life, my biggest inspiration behind everything I do.

I do everything I do to pay tribute to my great-grandfather.

I have never in my life walked with a harness. The weight of the tether, makes it feel like I'm dragging an anchor behind me.

I'm facing Niagara Falls - the wind and the mist and the dark and the peregrine falcons - and I'm going to stay focused on the other side.

One of the things I enjoy is the challenge of Mother Nature.

I'd love to come to Australia. I'd love to walk about the Sydney Opera House.
