Demonic Figures And Occult Themes Have Disappeared

Before There Can Be Wonders, There Must Be Wonder.

I'm Inventing New Principles. The Audience Has A Point Of View That No One Can Predict.

To Make Magic Credible On Screen Is Always Very Difficult. The Story Is The Most Important Thing. That Is What Should Win. If Sacrifices Or Compromises Are Made, It's Usually For Story. Story In Magic Is Very, Very Important To Me. That's What I've Really Championed Through My Career.

I Went To Visit Frank Capra, One Of My Idols, And Did A Kind Of Judd Apatow Interview With Him. I Said, "i'd Like The Statue Of Liberty To Disappear, But I Want To Do It As A Lesson In Freedom, How Valuable Freedom Is And What The World Would Be Like Without Liberty." And Frank Capra Looked At Me And Said, "david, I Love Your Idea, But Here's What You're Going To Do. You're Going To Try And It's Not Going To Work; It's Not Going To Disappear." And I Said, "mr. Capra, I Can't Do That."

I Have Always Been Interested In Pushing Magic Forward.
