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

I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.

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 think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. Its using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.

I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere.

As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.
