Philippe Petit Quotes

When art in general, and film in particular, succeeds is when it pulls you away onto a voyage. Then it’s a good film Picture Quote #1

What I think tailors the creativity of most people are the rules that we learn from the age we are very small - in school, our parents Picture Quote #1

Usually, when I walk on a wire, I inspect the anchor point on both sides before crossing Picture Quote #1

The impossible - we are told - cannot be achieved. To overcome the ‘impossible,’ we need to use our wits and be fearless. We need to break the rules and to circumvent - some would one say to cheat Picture Quote #1

It would be very, very dangerous for a wire walker to experience fear while he is balancing on the wire. Fear has its place on earth, before and maybe after a high-wire walk, but not during for me Picture Quote #1

Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It’s to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That’s how I enjoyed fame in 74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous Picture Quote #1

Wirewalker, trust your feet! Let them lead you; they know the way Picture Quote #1

When you are a young person, the world is yours. You can do the impossible Picture Quote #1

I focus, I invent, I transform, I challenge, I attempt, I observe, I perform Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a career, I have a life. Don’t think of a career, think about your passion and look for inspiration Picture Quote #1

Why does almost every ad agency in the world set the time on a watch at 10:10 before photographing it? Picture Quote #1
