David Copperfield
For me, I was watching Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Orson Welles, Victor Fleming movies, and I said, I want to tell stories like that. I want to move people like that. But I'm good at magic, so what am I going to do? So I started using magic for the right reasons - to get the girl.
David Copperfield
All of the [Bob] Fosse-esque movements and point of view informed years and years of what I would do.
David Copperfield
There were really a bunch of old, old magic hobbyists at the time, some of them who actually had known [Harry] Houdini. You had to be 14 to go to these meetings, and he snuck me in at 12. It was glorious.

Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.
David Copperfield
Reading [Judd Apatow] book, about his background, I think there's a great similarity. What gives him the fire to work hard? He worked hard, researching the comedians of the time, what touched him about it.

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.
David Copperfield
Normally, I do magic on the stage. But I can make magic credible and resonate through a TV screen.
David Copperfield
I'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.
David Copperfield
But when I go off stage I don't have a deck of cards with me all the time.
David Copperfield
I got to watch Frank Capra, in his eighties, in action. You read all the stories about Frank Capra fighting with the head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, It's my way or the highway. I got to watch that. He lambasted me, You cannot do this. You will fail. Finally, after another hour of conversation, I convinced him to help me write the speech.
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
What you think is impossible in life actually is possible.
David Copperfield
In movies, storytelling and every single art form, we're creating wonder. You're starting with a blank page and creating something that doesn't exist.
