More quotes by David Copperfield
I think the negative reinforcement really helped me in my very beginnings.
David Copperfield
My father kind of encouraged me through that. Exactly,[work] not as an actor, obviously, but as someone in show business that had some success. He told me to live the impossible. Live the impossible!
David Copperfield
I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
David Copperfield
Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.
David Copperfield
I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.
David Copperfield
My father wanted to be an actor, dreamed about being an actor, but he gave it up because my mom and his family told him, You're never going to make it it's too tough out there.
David Copperfield
Tommy Chong connects to the pipe a lot.
David Copperfield
Demonic figures and occult themes have disappeared from modern magic.
David Copperfield
I started as a ventriloquist, a very bad ventriloquist. And people saw my lips moving and it was ridiculous, so finally I decided I'd better change my occupation.
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
All of the [Bob] Fosse-esque movements and point of view informed years and years of what I would do.
David Copperfield
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
David Copperfield
I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.
David Copperfield
I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.
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'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.
David Copperfield
When the time came to say, Mom, I want to do this as a job, it was brutal. She was really against it. There were screaming matches. Some people are shut down by that and get defeated by it, and other people are empowered by the negativity. My father kind of encouraged me through that.
David Copperfield
The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.
David Copperfield
The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion.
David Copperfield
Magic has been something I've been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I'm not sure why.
