"Love jumping higher on the bounce, love going further out, love the flipping, love the entry and the flight. Love the pain when it doesn't work out. Get back on the (diving) board. Love it 'cause it's a call in your body, 'cause it's what you need to do. Love it 'cause you can think of nothing else and you won't be satisfied 'til it's done.

You don't have to wait for permission or approval. You don't have to wait for someone to pay you or even notice. You certainly don't have to wait to be rescued. This is your story. This is your adventure. This is your creation - this is your life. You don't have to wait 30 more years, like me. Now is for diving.”
