I focus, I invent, I transform, I challenge, I attempt, I observe, I perform.
My journey has always been the balance between chaos and order.
I've been arrested many times for illegal high wire walking and illegal street performing.
If I see three oranges, I have to juggle. And if I see two towers, I have to walk.
My first walk illegally at 20 years old was between the towers of Notre Dame.
That was just kind of a surprise when the doctor said, 'We did a biopsy on your appendix, and you have cancer.'

We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words.
Populism is not a style, it's a people's rebellion against the iron grip that big corporations have on our country - including our economy, government, media, and environment.
