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.
All the things I do in my videos - the jumps, twirls and back bends - will also be onstage.
There was one where Gomez was on a Trapeze hanging by the legs upside down. I remember how much the backs of my knees would hurt until I got used to it. It was hard.
The stunts on the ground I can do, but I've never been good with heights.
I was always dancing and acrobatics was my specialty.
I never got to see the circus... I was always in love with being a trapeze artist, though.
I am the poet of the high wire - I never do stunts; I do theatrical performances.
I'm very acrobatic. I can do backflips and all that crazy stuff.
The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.
I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions.
I've always got into stunts; even at drama school, I was falling down trap doors, and swinging in on ropes.
Naked acrobatics are on my resume.
Well, I had an immense respect for Cirque du Soleil when I first say them in the '80s on a television show and just thought, you know, this group is really reinventing the circus, as you know. Because there wasn't three rings. There were no animals.
