I'm trying to change theater, in my own way - not just magic. I say that humbly, because I'm learning every single day.

All over the stage I have lines, written onstage, that I'm changing every single day.

Gil produced the Oscars for many years. Joe produced a lot of comedy specials, Steve Martin specials, and he discovered me, this 18-year-old kid.
