Man on Wire Quotes

• (Mark Lewis) "I never doubted Philippe's talent, his prowess on the wire. It was the unforeseen things that really worried me. You know, America's a very litigious society -- you know, involuntary manslaughter, assisted suicide -- I didn't want to be liable for the death of a friend."

You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge; and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope."

• (Unnamed) "-- I observed the tight rope dancer -- because you couldn't call him a walker -- approximately half-way between the two towers. I personally figured I was watching something that somebody else would never see again in the world. Thought it was once in a lifetime."

• (Philippe Petit) "If I die, what a beautiful death."

• (Philippe Petit) "It's impossible, that's sure. So let's start working."
