Let Sleeping Dogs Lie —

I Invented Magic Stuff; It Came Very Easily. Now, I Sucked At Everything Else, But I Was Good At Magic As A Kid.

I See People's Need To Dream, People's Need To Escape - You See It! That's Why People Come To Comedy Shows, That's Why They Come To Your Movies ... We're So Needed In This World. Not As Much As Medicine , But To Dream For A While.

For Me, It's About Risk Taking, Taking Things In New Directions. Because Every Single Time, No Matter How Much You Learn, You Can Never Say, "okay, I Did The Hardest Thing I Ever Did. I'm Prepared Now. Now It's Going To Be Easy." Of Course It's Not Easy.

Magic Has Been Something I've Been Really Good At Since I Was Really Young. The Ability Has Always Come Easy To Me, I'm Not Sure Why.

Like In Comedy, You Know The Names Of The People Who Steal Things That Others Work Really Hard On. It Really Sucks. And, In Magic, It's Not Just The Hard Work Of Getting The Words And Attitude And Point Of View Right; You're Taking An Actual Invention, Making Something Over Three Or Four Years, And Somebody Can Just Take It.
