David Copperfield

I'm really trying hard not to do anything that has been done before. So knowing everything I can about the legacy of magic challenges my team and I to invent new illusions.

I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create.

The audiences are what keep me enthusiastic.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.

The 'Station to Station' film is a fast-moving journey through the modern creative landscape. It's a kaleidoscope of voices and impressions rather than a standard linear film.
