My mother encouraged it so much. She was so supportive. Even if as a kid, I would do the dumbest trick, which now that I look back on some things, she would love it, she would say that's amazing, or if I'd make the ugliest drawing, she would hang it up. She was amazing.

I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.

As a kid I used to hold my breath longer than anybody else, and then I heard stories about people accidently underwater for 45 minutes - how do you recover from that? It's not a miracle. Something allows us to survive.

I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.

I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there.

I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures I've ever seen.
