I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.

If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.

I know that I'm very lucky to be alive. For 35 or 40 years I've spilt my blood and broke my bones and spent years in hospitals.

Riding a motorcycle on today's highways, you have to ride in a very defensive manner. You have to be a good rider and you have to have both hands and both feet on the controls at all times.

Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.

I am a lucky, lucky person.

Harley-Davidson is the finest company in the world.

But you come to a point in your life when you can't pull the trigger anymore.

If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass.

I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.

I thought I was bulletproof or Superman there for a while. I thought I'd never run out of nerve. Never.

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

In the old days they, the promoters, wanted more and more from me. They wanted me to jump or spill my blood and break my bones. Every time they wanted me to jump further, and further, and further. Hell, they thought my bike had wings.

When I hit that pavement at 70 or 80 mph those suits just ripped.

This is a year and a few months after the transplant. Before I had it my doctors told me that it would be the biggest thing that I ever had to face and believe me, when they take your liver out of ya and put another one in it's like replacing a football in your stomach.

The Harley's got a little too much torque when it comes to jumping.

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose its place.

I've been in a treatment center for drinkin'. I stayed for two days, then escaped.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

I know guys in my hometown that drive by feel and sound.

I recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I'm getting used to the medication.

I think these shows with the young kids doing these jumps, doing these fantastic back flips, I think they're absolutely great. They did what I never did.

There are a lot of myths about my injuries. They say I have broken every bone in my body. Not true. But I have broken 35 bones. I had surgery 14 times to pin and plate. I shattered my pelvis. I forget all of the things that have broke.

I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

I guess I thought I was Elvis Presley but I'll tell ya something. All Elvis did was stand on a stage and play a guitar. He never fell off on that pavement at no 80 mph.

I think I coulda landed on a dime. I really do.

My wife and I, we like to ride where there's not much traffic.

A motorcycle coming down from 30 feet at 70 mph gives you a terrible jolt.

All my life people have been waiting around to watch me die.

Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.

Breaks your heart when your son doesn't love you.

God made us. He's in charge of everything, right? If He didn't like us, why didn't he change us?

I always knew how to draw a crowd.

I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.

I am a guy who is first of all a businessman. I'm not a stunt man. I'm not a daredevil. I'm - I'm an explorer.

I am not, never have been, and never will be a politician. But I want to tell you the United States has always been proud of having the support of the United Kingdom, of keeping Britain in Europe. We need Britain in Europe.

I can still crack a safe with one hand tied behind my back. I'm not proud of it. But I was always against society.

I can't keep track of my hospital time. It all sort of blurs together.

I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.

I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could.

I don't have any problems in life, just situations.

I don't know what in the world happened. I don't know if it was the power of the prayer or God himself, but it just reached out, either while I was driving or walking down the sidewalk or sleeping, and it just - the power of God in Jesus just grabbed me... All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him!

I guess I'm like any other concerned father, except that nobody else's son guns a cycle over 17 pickups without holding on to the handlebars.

I have my tombstone already. A tombstone company in the East gave it to me when I jumped Snake Canyon. My plot is in Montana.

I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short.

I like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don't tell a kid what's right and wrong. He knows what's right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go.

I think if you have ability and talent in one way, you have it in all ways. I'm not a jack of all trades; I'm a master of many. I don't feel there is anything I can't do if I want to.
