Perform as many times as you can in front of people you don't know.
I have no idea what's next, I simply don't have a clue.
It's new and different every night. The charge you get from a good audience is like nothing else.
I'm very happy to be employed. I always contend that in show business that if you're employed, then you're successful.
I'm comfortable and confident about the future.
When I started out back in Louisville, there was Harry Collins. He was my first teacher. He saw that I was so obsessed with magic that he taught me the love of magic.
One of the funniest lines in my show was written for me by Alan Bursky. I really want to learn this routine!
That's sort of like asking a parent who their favorite child is. It's very hard to determine. Sometimes I'll get feedback from somebody who liked this part of the show. Others like another part of the show.
That's kind of what we have here. I think we've just grown apart, we have different philosophies, and we're going in different directions.

It was a great opportunity that I had to take - my very own theater. That comes along once in a lifetime. It doesn't even seem like 15 years ago - time sure flies by. I've really had a lot of fun with it.

I've worked nonstop for 31 years. I've counted down myself hundreds of cues for everything in each 90-minute show. I've never really taken an extended break, so I'd like to see what a vacation is really like.
