Evel Knievel

I'm not a daredevil because I'm brave. I'm a daredevil because I'm a showman.

The only thing worse than a coward is a liar.

I lived a life of excess, but I wouldn't change a thing.

I wasn't afraid of death, I was afraid of an ordinary life.

I never cared what people thought of me. I did what I wanted to do.

I always said I'd rather be a has-been than a never-was.

They said I was crazy. They said I couldn't do it. But I did it.

I'm not a role model. I'm a daredevil. There's a difference.

I've had more broken bones than a junkyard dog.

I never made a jump that I didn't think I could make.

I'm a gambler. I've always been a gambler.

If you're going to be a daredevil, you gotta be tough.

I lived my life the way I wanted to live it.

I was an entertainer. That's what I was.

I never wanted to be ordinary. I wanted to be extraordinary.

I didn't do it for the money. I did it for the thrill.

I always landed on my feet, one way or another.

You don't get to be Evel Knievel by being a scaredy-cat.

I like the color red because it's a very aggressive color. It's a very loud color. It's a very daring color.

I'm not doing it for the money. I'm doing it for the glory and the fame.
