When people say you can't do it - that it's impossible - never lose hope. Just because they couldn't doesn't mean you can't.
David Copperfield
You lose your sense of wonder the more you learn, right? When you go to film school and learn about moviemaking, you go to see movies and then only see where the lights are, where the cuts are, watching it from a technical basis, nodding your head, Oh, that was good.

Everything that you'd see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen's Magic. You'd think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon's Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid.

I got to watch Frank Capra, in his eighties, in action. You read all the stories about Frank Capra fighting with the head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, It's my way or the highway. I got to watch that. He lambasted me, You cannot do this. You will fail. Finally, after another hour of conversation, I convinced him to help me write the speech.

I have a bunch of islands in the Bahamas that we made into this amazing, magical place. And we have these birds they're trained to do certain things on the island, which is awesome. These toucans had a baby toucan, and the baby toucan, every hour that you'd look at this toucan, he would change.
