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.
