Context: What I always wanted to be was a magician... My real upbringing when I was a teenager was doing magic shows, all over the state, with my father and brothers.

Context: "You go on. You just go on. There's nothing more to it, and there's no trick to make it easier. You just go on."

"Your life again. What else?"
"Is that a promise?"
"It's an inevitability. No trick. No choice. You just go on."
