The more educated you get, the better shot you have to get it right, but if you're really trying something different, it's a challenge every time.

I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.

I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.

My mother was really loving and wonderful and tough as hell.

I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.

For me to grow, I have to know about the foundation that came before.

I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
