Pain Is A Beautiful Thing.

Well, I Had An Immense Respect For Cirque Du Soleil When I First Say Them In The '80s On A Television Show And Just Thought, You Know, This Group Is Really Reinventing The Circus, As You Know. Because There Wasn't Three Rings. There Were No Animals.

I Like To Say Magic Is The World's Second Oldest Profession, A Mystical And Often Awe-inspiring Spectacle That, Throughout The Ages, Has Blended Superstition, Trickery And Religion.

I Think That The Problem Is That People Fear So Many Things And They Don't Live Life To Its Fullest. And For Me As An Artist, If God Should Want Me To Come This Wednesday To The End Of My Life, So Be It.

To Me, It's Never About The Trick. I Don't Care About How Something Works. I Care About How People Feel When They Watch It. You Know, That - That Connection - That Emotional Connection Is True Magic.

I Wasn't A Smart Kid And I Still Don't Think I'm Too Smart When It Comes To Book Smart, But I Was Very Good With What I Knew And With My Craft And I Think That Was My Calling In Life. But Even Today I Never Went To College.
