I Fell In Love With Magic Acts

[ Gil Cates] Said, "you've Got A Point Of View With Your Magic. There's This Comedy To It, There's Drama. You're Telling Stories With Magic."

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.

My Father Kind Of Encouraged Me Through That. Exactly,[work] Not As An Actor, Obviously, But As Someone In Show Business That Had Some Success. He Told Me To Live The Impossible. "live The Impossible!"

From The Very Beginning, I Studied Acting, Directing, Lighting, Dance And Movement. I Didn't Rely On Just The Magic To Take Place. It's A Shame That A Lot Of Magicians Just Rely On The Trick Itself And They Have No Other Abilities. They Get Away With The Wonder Factor, And I Don't Think That's Enough. It's Great, But It's Not Enough.

For My Father, Being Kind Was Natural... I Have To Really Work At It. I Love Competing And Winning, Conquest - Not Words You Usually Associate With Kindness.
