Life Is Beautiful. Really, It Is. Full

The First Time I Hung Out With [david Blaine], He Took Me To This Condemned Building, And It Had A Pizza Oven And He Crawled Into The Pizza Oven And Turned The Heat On To 400 Degrees Or Something Like That, And He Stayed In It For I Guess A Half Hour. He Came Out, And Except For One Or Two Second-degree Burns, He Was Unscathed. You Meet A Lot Of Musicians And Filmmakers And Actors, But It's Rare To Meet Someone Who Can Step Inside A Pizza Oven And Take The Heat. I Was Intrigued By That.

I've Just Always Liked Watching People Dance. I Can't Explain It. It Used To Just Make Me Laugh. Sometimes You Can Tell A Lot About A Person By The Way They Shake Their Ass.

A Lot Of Times You Can Write A Scene With A Specific Song In Mind, And Then You Lay It Over The Image, And It Kills It. I Can Never Figure Out Why Certain Music Works. Some Music You Listen To And Say, "man, That Would Be Great For A Movie." But When You Try It, It's Horrible, Because The Music Itself Is Cinematic. The Weight Of It Kills The Image.

Life Is Beautiful. Really, It Is. Full Of Beauty And Illusions. Life Is Great. Without It, You'd Be Dead.

I've Always Been Pulled Toward People Who Can't Seem To Make Anything Fit. It's Like A Cinema Of Isolation, Of Loneliness. They Go Outside The System And Create Their Own Society To Develop Their Obsession To An Insane Degree.
