Well, I had an immense respect for Cirque du Soleil when I first say them in the 80s on a television show and just thought, you know, this group is really reinventing the circus, as you know. Because there wasnt three rings. There were no animals. – Criss Angel
I think that the problem is that people fear so many things and they dont live life to its fullest. And for me as an artist, if God should want me to come this Wednesday to the end of my life, so be it. – Criss Angel
I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind – you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job. – Criss Angel
Im actually tougher on myself as I get older. Its a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you cant buy in life: love, health and happiness. I say that, and I believe that, and I try to live that. – Criss Angel
