It Is The Unspoken Ethic Of All

[producers] Took Me To Chicago At 18 To Star In A Show That Ran For Almost A Year. And That's When My Parents Said, "okay, I Guess You Can Quit Fordham." Of Course, When That Show Closed, As You Can Imagine, I Came To New York And Starved For Years, But It's Never An Easy Road.

Everyone Was Talking About Having Airplanes Disappear. And I Said, "wait, Wait, Wait. That's What You Like? I'd Tell You A Story About Something Like My Girlfriend Leaving Me, And The Magic Was Really Hard. The Airplane Thing Was Comparatively Easy, And People Liked That Thing?" I Realized At That Moment, The Power Of The Simple Idea.

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.

I Need A Form Of Escape Even When I'm Working Really Hard.

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