“I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest.”

There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.

I make good money: One speech nets me more than what most people make in six months.

Soloing is the most beautiful way of climbing; no material constrains, just you and the rock, the sun, nature; a kind of school for courage, willpower and self-confidence.

I feel completely alone – it’s like melting, I am the structure, and I am also Alain Robert.

If you’ve climbed the first 140 meters it doesn’t mean that you’ve succeeded; you are going to succeed by climbing the last 10 meters.

With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.

When I climb a building, I’ve been there already, and carefully planned how to start the climb as well as how to do it.

Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice.

Modern people are only willing to believe in their computers, while I believe in myself.

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals.

In fact, it will be very easy to climb the building because of its shape and architecture.

To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it’s part of my life.

All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

I see myself as a climber and an activist.
