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.

David Copperfield
Everyone was talking about having airplanes disappear. And I said, Wait, wait, wait. That's what you like?

I realized at that moment, the power of the simple idea.

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
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
I invented magic stuff it came very easily. Now, I sucked at everything else, but I was good at magic as a kid.
