“I am the poet of the high wire - I never do stunts; I do theatrical pe...” — Philippe Petit Quote

“I am the poet of the high wire - I never do stunts; I do theatrical performances.”

“I am not up there by chance. I am there by choice. And I know the wire. And I know my limits. And I am a madman of details.”

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

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

“I was born in a world of opera, theatre, films, poetry, art, and therefore, out of the wire, I made a stage. That's why they call me a high wire artist.”

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