The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned.

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.

I am fortunate to have the resources to have many methods to do each of my illusions.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

When I did my first few television specials, my illusions were so advanced that it took a couple of years before the other illusionists could even figure out what I was doing, let alone try to imitate me.

While producing art works, illusions appear from time to time due to my mental illness. Every day is a struggle for me.

Belief in the absence of illusions is itself an illusion.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.
