I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

You don't get into magic. Magic gets into you.

As children we believe that anything is possible, the trick is to never forget it.

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing.

We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe.

I'd like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.

We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

The Sound of Music was just such an honour to be in, because it was a movie that appeals to so many people, and they just loved it so much and they still love it to this day.

If you see faults in others, look the other way. Don't linger on imperfection.

As an actor, I feel like I'm somebody who, when somebody gives me a mark, I don't want to hit it. I don't like that. But then, without even knowing it, I just hit it.

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!

A good home must be made, not bought.

There's so many great, fantastic compliments I need to give that girl. Three words isn't enough.

You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.
