I believe that the circus is a place where people can forget about the headaches and heartaches of life. And all the other countries getting along together is part of the magic that is the circus.

You know this is the magic moment of their lives. Sometimes it's the kid who is always passed over in school. Or having a good time, but their face isn't having a good time. As I walk into the seats and say hi to people, I can pick one out. And doing that, you're not singling one out, you're inviting all of them.

The whole time you're running, flying, jumping. It takes stamina and balance. ... I look like I'm falling but stay in control.

I have more than four people on this planet in my life who see me for myself and forget that I've worked on network television. They forget I've worked in movies, and that I'm an actor. As long as I have four people who can do that, then there are others who are capable of doing that.

Many people buy life insurance and forget about it. What you buy and how much you buy depends upon two things: who you love and who you owe.

When they did that, they disenfranchised all of the people who don't live on the lake. That lake is the taxpayers' and it has to be open to everybody.
