More quotes by David Copperfield

David Copperfield
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
David Copperfield
[ Gil Cates] said, You've got a point of view with your magic. There's this comedy to it, there's drama. You're telling stories with magic.
David Copperfield

From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place. It's a shame that a lot of magicians just rely on the trick itself and they have no other abilities. They get away with the wonder factor, and I don't think that's enough. It's great, but it's not enough.
David Copperfield
I see people's need to dream, people's need to escape - you see it! That's why people come to comedy shows, that's why they come to your movies ... We're so needed in this world. Not as much as medicine , but to dream for a while.
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
I really wanted to succeed. I wanted to be accepted. I read every magic book that I possibly could, studied every move, and by the time I was 12, they really accepted me, they embraced me.
David Copperfield
The most important thing is presentation.
David Copperfield
I discovered Musha Cay and the islands around it in the Exumas.
David Copperfield
You have to learn certain skills to present magic.
David Copperfield
Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.
David Copperfield
There is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is to find it.
David Copperfield
Physical rehab is often very, very hard work.
David Copperfield

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
Magic was a thing that, when I did it, it made all the kids go, Ah, that's cool.
