There's no such thing as a longtime Magic coach.

I will admit, I once launched myself at Julie Garwood for a hug, hoping some of her magic would rub off on me... and I have fangirl crushes on Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Linda Howard, and Kresley Cole, among many others.

For someone who works in theatre, the rehearsal is where you discover everything. It is where magic happens, where the script enters you and becomes part of you.

I've got a lot of belief in Aaron Gordon and he's one of the reasons that I took the job here with the Magic. When a guy cares as much as he does and works as hard as he does, that impacts the group. And that type of attitude is infectious.

I definitely enjoy the kind of magic that happens being on stage with a group when everything's working. The vibe when that's happening gets even better if the audience is involved and you can feel that interaction. That's something you don't get with your headphones on in a studio; it's much different.

There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

I loved the 'Free Spirit' tour and the guys who helped create the magic: Pete Bullick, Rich Newman, Ian Rowley and Gerard 'G' Louis.

I love mayonnaise. It's one of the first lessons I teach my cooking students. Turning eggs and oil into an emulsion - that creamy, satisfying third thing - feels like magic.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I'm not interested in corporate magic or fame.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

For me, it's just more satisfying when you follow the rules rather than just make a bunch of sounds. The magic of just making noise in the studio goes away after a while.

I am richer than Davy Crockett. I can settle back and do what I want to do. And what I want to do is card tricks and magic.

Magic really helped me.

David Blaine, I think, was the first TV magician to really turn the camera around and make it about the spectator's experience. That's really what magic is all about.

Magic is all about directing attention. If I didn't want you to look at my right hand then I don't look at it.

When magic happens, it just happens, brother.

If I had auditioned for 'Merlin' on magic alone, I don't think I'd have got it. Like any kid, I probably had a magic kit, but it's not something I ever pursued. I've never watched a magic show like David Copperfield or used him to base my character on, but I really like David Blaine and Darren Brown. They are doing wonders.

When it's the same team that's created magic at the box office in the past, you know you are in safe hands.

In magic, it takes two or three years for me to create a 5-minute illusion for me to get it to the level I want.
