More quotes by David Copperfield

David Copperfield
You lose your sense of wonder the more you learn, right? When you go to film school and learn about moviemaking, you go to see movies and then only see where the lights are, where the cuts are, watching it from a technical basis, nodding your head, Oh, that was good. The feeling of surprise, the feeling of being transported is further away.
