More From Lorrie Moore

And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

One thing you learn doing magic tricks for a living is how close every performance of every magic trick is to disaster. there are no robust magic tricks. they're all hanging from a thread - sometimes literally.
Magic Sometimes Disaster
I had loved magic tricks from the time i was six or seven. i bought books on magic. i did magic acts for my parents and their friends. i was aiming for show business from early days, and magic was the poor man's way of getting in: you buy a trick for $2, and you've got an act.

Do you hate me because i have magic?" "of course not." "do you love me despite my magic?" he thought a minute. "no. i love everything about you, and your magic is part of you. that was how i got past the confessor's magic. if i had loved you despite your power, i wouldn't have been accepting you for who you are. your magic would have destroyed me.
Hate Past Magic
When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. magic is just naturally present then. we tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. one day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. we hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. what we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. it's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.
Love Fall Hard Work
There is always magic to be summoned at any point. i love to live in a world of magic, but not a fake world of magic. we all really basically have a lot of magic... it’s only those of us who choose to accept it, that really understand it. it’s there for everyone. that’s the only thing that i feel i am able to give to people and that’s why i know that they respond to me because i try to give them only their own magic... not mine, but theirs

I've always had a burning desire to help people and make a difference in the world. i didn't know how i could do that in modelling when it can be such a fake world. but my dad told me i could make a difference by being true to myself and teaching people what i've learnt about spirituality, health and nutrition.
Dad Teaching Fake World
Well, i think in trying to make life seem real enough that one is moved to do something about the more atrocious things. by going really far afield into a completely fake world, maybe there's a chance to make things resonant somehow - or in this case, truly terrifying. to make it as bad as the real stuff that's happening.
Real Thinking Fake World
It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
