More quotes by David Copperfield
I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
David Copperfield
Like in comedy, you know the names of the people who steal things that others work really hard on. It really sucks. And, in magic, it's not just the hard work of getting the words and attitude and point of view right you're taking an actual invention, making something over three or four years, and somebody can just take it.
David Copperfield
My job is to make people dream. Of course, there's a lot of technical stuff behind the scenes and a lot of hard work behind it, but I get to watch people see the result of that hard work and feel that wonder and feel that discovery, all the time.
David Copperfield
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
David Copperfield
Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!
David Copperfield
It's okay for me to be gay, but God didn't make me that way.

David Copperfield

David Copperfield
Never take NO for an answer.
David Copperfield
I had a point of view, which was different. I looked at magic as theater, as storytelling, and I tried to have an approach that was different from what they were doing. How can I move people and really get them to dream with a card trick, with coin magic, or even a piece of stage magic?
David Copperfield
When I was a kid, people wanted to be an astronaut. Today, kids want to be famous, and that's totally the wrong approach. You have to have authenticity in what you're doing. You have to really care about the core message of what you're saying, and then everything else will fall into place.
David Copperfield
For my father, being kind was natural... I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest - not words you usually associate with kindness.
David Copperfield
But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.
David Copperfield
I invented magic stuff it came very easily. Now, I sucked at everything else, but I was good at magic as a kid.
David Copperfield
I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.
