I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death.

I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesars, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did.

I do a lot of research on what people have done in the past.

As children we believe that anything is possible, the trick is to never forget it.

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

Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea.

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.
