I want to ride my motorcycle up the side of the Luxor to the light and vanish.

We weren't poor growing up on Long Island, but it wasn't lavish - just a regular middle-class house.

Note to self: Never ride a motorcycle in stilettos and a miniskirt.

...I didn't want to be a passenger on someone else's motorcycle.
I wanted to be the one riding that motherfucker.

You can just go to a magic shop or magic builder and buy what most magicians do, but that's not what I'm about. With 'Mindfreak' on television and 'Believe' live, I want to bring things that people have never seen before. That process is very difficult. It's very challenging, and you never know how long it's going to take - months or years.

Oprah is signed on to help, and a lot of celebrity friends have agreed to help me raise money for Make-A-Wish. We want to make the world a better place for innocent children. I cried my heart out when my father died from cancer. I wish I was smarter, wiser like a doctor, to save these children from dying.
