Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?

Some nights it was a melee, literally, where I'd be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act, and getting actually violent and angry at me.

I think that there's a natural attraction to enigmatic characters, people that have decided to make a decision in their lives to live differently than everyone else. That's a very attractive quality that also happens to be good for filmmaking, people that have their own point of view and aren't looking at things the same way as everyone else.

When I started out. I'd drive a hundred miles to do my act for free.

I've often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it's not where you'll find your sense of completion.

I cannot be contained because I am the container.
