Usually, About Two Years Of Work Go

I Record That I Was Born (as I Have Been Informed And Believe) On A Friday, At Twelve O'clock At Night. It Was Remarked That The Clock Began To Strike, And I Began To Cry, Simultaneously.

I Try To Help People Realize Their Dreams By Using Magic To Tell Stories That Educate, Move, And Inspire.

I Wrote An Op-ed Piece In The New York Times About The Amazing Effect Of Shared Wonder - How I Have An Audience Filled With People Who You'd Think Would Hate Each Other, People From Every Religious Category, All At The Same Show At The Same Time. And It's An Amazing Phenomenon To Watch This Shared Sense Of Wonder, Where These People Who Really Don't Like Each Other - For Good And Bad Reasons, Reasons That Make Sense And That Don't Make Sense - Are In The Same Room, Experiencing This Unification.

You Lose Your Sense Of Wonder The More You Learn, Right? When You Go To Film School And Learn About Moviemaking, You Go To See Movies And Then Only See Where The Lights Are, Where The Cuts Are, Watching It From A Technical Basis, Nodding Your Head, "oh, That Was Good." The Feeling Of Surprise, The Feeling Of Being Transported Is Further Away.

A Few Years Later, When I Was Still Going To These Meetings, I Was Also "second-acting" Every Broadway Show [walking In With The Crowd After Intermission]. I Snuck In To See Grease With John Travolta In Kind Of A Secondary Part And Adrienne Barbeau Playing Rizzo, Into Pippin, Hung Out With Ben Vereen And Bob Fosse. It Was An Amazing Time For A Teenager.
