For me, a clown is someone who feels and thinks on the outside of their skin. They have a great generosity to show their inner impulses, for better or worse, and expose their ridiculous qualities. You can find the clown in many places- on the street- the subway, the circus-the theater- in contemporary movies, television and sometimes in the mirror. There are many people who have their own rigid definitions of the clown, too. Some say he's an idiot. Some focus on a childlike innocence. But I like to think that if we are adults our clowns are too. Eric Davis
