I'm a humanist. I always believed, even with Cirque du Soliel, that this is my way to contribute to a better world. I believe I'm very privileged, but many people face the reality when they wake up in the morning of not having food or a glass of water. Life's been good to me, and I believe you have to feed the circle of life.

Ironically, the opportunity to go into space brings you back down to Earth big time! My decision must also take into account my children, my family and my friends. I must be at peace with this decision. And I was. I weighed the risks without letting fear feed on fear. There is no room for fear in my life.

I'm an artistic person and a creator. I'm not a scientific. I'm not an engineer.

There are three capitals of entertainment in the world: Las Vegas, New York and London. So far the only one I truly conquered is Vegas. New York and London are still on my checklist.

As all professional athletes know, Father Time is undefeated, and when I wake up in the morning, my back especially lets me know that it's about time to bow out gracefully, let the young guys in and move to being a full time fan of the sport.

Father and son games - that was the best day. We'd be dressed at 6 o'clock in the morning. The game would be at 7 o'clock at night... And we'd play at, like, 5.

These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night's arms.

I train in various aspects of the sport each day: Monday, for example, would be wrestling in the morning at 11, then kickboxing at five. Tuesday is a jujitsu session with strength and conditioning, while Wednesday is a sparring day. We mix it up each day.
