The First Time I Hung Out With [david Blaine], He Took Me To This Condemned Building, And It Had A Pizza Oven And He Crawled Into The Pizza Oven And Turned The Heat On To 400 Degrees Or Something Like That, And He Stayed In It For I Guess A Half Hour. He Came Out, And Except For One Or Two Second-degree Burns, He Was Unscathed. You Meet A Lot Of Musicians And Filmmakers And Actors, But It's Rare To Meet Someone Who Can Step Inside A Pizza Oven And Take The Heat. I Was Intrigued By That.
