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.
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.
The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.
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.
