AG: Sometimes I go to shows, but I don't go out of my way to see other jugglers. Nick studies it and reads about it. If there's an interesting article in Juggler' s World he'll tell me about it and I'll read it. Otherwise I don't usually read it. I don't even read articles about me!

 

JW: Bobby May autographed the back of a photo of you and him at the Cleveland convention with the words "To The King." Do you believe people when they say you're the greatest? Do you think much about that?

AG: It's nice I guess. It's supposed to be a compliment, but I don't get big-headed about it.

 

JW: You have a lot of natural talent, of course, but is your Dad, Nick, really the secret of your success?

AG: I think so. I had to have some talent, put if I didn't have him I wouldn't be juggling, so yeah, he is. It's hard to get me to practice, and hard to get me to concentrate when I am practicing. It's a chore. Nick makes sure I practice and tells me to concentrate, but he doesn't get on my case.

 

JW: Do you take pride in what you do?

AG: Yeah, I'm proud. To accomplish what I've done is a task, but I'm proud that I can do it.

 

JW : You try this very tough stuff and drop very little. Do you have any theory about why that is?

AG: It's strange. I'll do 7 clubs or 8 balls and if I drop that night it'll be something like three clubs or five balls.  I don't have a theory on it, but it's not like I'm Mr. Perfect. I don't do perfect shows every night. I don't even concentrate, so I can't say that you have to concentrate very hard. I just pay attention to the patterns and stuff, and I guess I have pretty good natural concentration. It's something with your eye I think.

 

JW: Where did you get that hairdo?

AG: One day it came as an accident. I was coming back from Japan and slept on it. It was all wet and just poofed out like that. I liked it, and now I get it cut that way.
