The process of coming out is normally very disappointing. It's not that people react badly to it - they really don't care.

Magic should get under people's skins.

Everything you do is about creating an experience in the viewer's head. If you're rude or irritating as a performer, then your magic is irritating.

In recent years there's been a lot of philosophical theorising about how important magic is, and how it takes us back to a childlike state of astonishment. I think all this is just nonsense. Magic isn't meaningful or important other than how you're performing it in that moment.

When I started doing magic I was quite obsessive about it. I didn't feel impressive and I had a strong desire to impress people. I was putting all my creative energy into learning and performing tricks, and it helps if you're not in relationships or doing the stuff other people are doing. But it's not necessarily a healthy way of living.

Mentalist is the technical term for what I do and it covers everything from psychic medium through Uri Geller, through to magicians doing tricks with a mental theme.

If you aim to be controversial for the sake of it you'd end up with a very thin and meaningless show.

There was something about me even at an early age that enjoyed charming and manipulating.

I wore a cloak for many years, I had long hair, I may have had a drop earring for a week and I fancied myself as a philosopher poet but was somewhere more in the gay female leisure pirate.

For a long time, I couldn't just sit and have a conversation with people at a table without showing them a trick. I thought you just had to impress, it was about impressing, which of course is what you do if you don't feel very impressive.

I'm probably a little shyer than people imagine.

I'm not very sociable. If I get invited to a glamorous event I probably won't go. That world does not really appeal to me.

It used to frustrate me when I'd get celebrities on my shows and I had to meet them as this ludicrous magician character rather than as myself.

I love touring, more than anything. Doing the stage show is a more enjoyable process than TV. There are no safeguards but the payoff is the wow factor.

I don't want to be some extreme therapist. Although seeing someone's life change for the better is a really moving thing.

Psychic, illusionist... I'm just doing the things that I find interesting and worthwhile.

I really do like being on stage. Compared to television I have a lot more control - it's a lot more relaxed and loose.

When touring I get to travel around with my best friends, do a show I love and I'm confident people will enjoy, and have all the adrenalin that comes with performing.

I once had Rachel McAdams over for lunch, when she was with Michael Sheen, who's a friend of mine.

I'm being respectful to my elders.

You control your own destiny. You go out there and work hard and show people that you come to work and earn your respect. All you can control is how you go out there and perform every day.

I'm going to push and work hard every day.

All I see is that grass and open field, and I just run like there's no tomorrow.

God has blessed me tremendously.

If you believe it, you can achieve it and God will be there every step of the way. I am a living testament, man.

I have a lot of love for Tennessee.

I have my own path.

As the game goes on, I get better and I can see the defense getting tired. That gets me hyped.

Man, you can have all of the talent in the world, but the hard work overrules that.

I feel like the more carries I get, the more flow I get and just keep it rolling with me and the whole offense.

When you work hard, it's definitely going to show. That's why with any athlete, we have struggles, and we have adversity, but as long as you work hard and keep your head down, you will always prevail.

If you have dreams, chase them.

I'm working hard every day.

We have a lot of pride for Yulee, and with the football team we can help show that.

I want to stay with the Tennessee Titans. They are the ones that took a chance on me - 31 teams passed on me on the draft and they selected me.

God is so good, man.

It's all about the team, the team, the team, the team.

I'm trying to run through you. I'm trying to make you feel everything that I'm bringing. That's the mentality you have to have as a running back. The defense is trying to knock the mess out of you, and I'm trying to do the same.

You got God on your side, anything is possible.

I feel like you gotta stay humble and keep working hard, never get complacent or satisfied.

My main focus is to get positive yards.

I mean, I just try to run hard all four quarters.

Whatever I have to do to help my team win. I don't care how many carries it is. As long as it's successful and we've got the ball, I'm all for it.

I just appreciate my team, appreciate my coaches, appreciate everybody involved, from my coaches, my teammates, the training staff... people in the kitchen at the facility, people who clean the building.

I want to make sure I have something I can lean on after football.

I am definitely hungry, not only to get better myself, but to win a Super Bowl.

My goal every year is I always want to be better than the year before.

Coming into Alabama from Florida, they all accepted me, they all loved me and all supported me.

Everybody always asks me about carries, what I thought about it, how I felt, but when you got teammates like that who love you and care for you, it don't matter how you feel or how bad it hurts, you've got to make sure you're making those guys happy by helping them win, getting a victory.

As a running back, you always want to be physical.
