I respect Everest very much.

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.

I offer my expertise and experience for hire in order to help a group of people reach the summit.

I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.

A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.

I travel to Jakarta, I see what an important country it is. I've been working with them for a year.

I am not sure the others are as committed as Rob Hall and Scott Fischer. I think there is more business now, and I know it will be impossible to stop this Everest business.

I cannot say to be glad or not glad to be on Everest. It is my life. I have opportunity to be here, so I am here.

How could the adventure seeker of today find satisfaction with the level of performance that was a standard set more than 40 years ago ?

I think that people ran out of oxygen and don't really know what happened up there, maybe some of them just made things up because they weren't sure what had happened.

Climbing is what I do.

If a man has his eyes bound, you can encourage him as much as you like to stare through the bandage, but he'll never see anything.

I make funny videos of me playing video games, and I share those moments.

Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment.

The only thing I said to my parents when I was a teenager was Hang up, I got it!

My hometown is extremely supportive of me and I feel blessed to be able to create something as a way of giving back; to say thank you.

The foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principle of private morality.

Brotherhood is not just a Bible word. Out of comradeship can come and will come the happy life for all.

A victorious and powerful ally is but another name for a master.

An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.

Unless i'm reading an assignment or doing a paper or taking a test, i'm thinking about you.
