Metaphorically speaking, of course, if I put a problem behind my pillow and fall asleep, very often because my brain went to sleep with that idea or the problem alive, very often in the middle of the night I wake up, and I wake up with a solution or with a direction of solution.
From Philippe Petit
I started putting a wire up in secret and performing without permission. Notre Dame, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the World Trade Center. And I developed a certitude, a faith that convinced me that I will get safely to the other side. If not, I will never do that first step.
To be able to create fully, it's maybe fine that you learn the rules, but you have to forget and to rebel against those rules.
An intellectual challenge presents itself? I am in bliss. Instantly, it brings forth the notion of triumph.
There was a time when fire and story would fall asleep in unison. It was dream time.
Faith is what replaces doubt in my dictionary.
When I was six years old, I fell in love with magic. For Christmas, I got a magic box and a very old book on card manipulation. Somehow, I was more interested in pure manipulation than in all the silly little tricks in the box.
As I'm studying magic, juggling is mentioned repeatedly as a great way to acquire dexterity and coordination. Now, I had long admired how fast and fluidly jugglers make objects fly. So that's it. I'm 14; I'm becoming a juggler.
On the high wire, within months, I'm able to master all the tricks they do in the circus, except I am not satisfied.
When a loved one disappears, you continue to live with the accompaniment of that person. One has to find a balance between joy and sorrow.
