David Blaine: Quotes
David Blaine said: "We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can. In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds.
"My next performance will demonstrate these ideas through the most extreme exercise in isolation and physical deprivation ever attempted. There will be no trickery and no means of escape."
How did you come up with the idea for the stunt - what was your inspiration?
"I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years. I think pain is easiest to avoid by filling the days with distractions - I wish to remove everything to search for a truth. Therefore, I will have no food, no sex, no phones, no books, no music, no television, no privacy and no other stimulus. It will be a public isolation that I will have to endure by adapting and surviving as an animal on instinct."
What do you hope to gain from completing the experiment?
"I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death. I wish to experience a heightened sense of awareness by complete physical deprivation."
