More quotes by George Lucas
If I'd have gone to art school, or stayed in anthropology, I probably would have ended up back in film ... Mostly I just followed my inner feelings and passions ... and kept going to where it got warmer and warmer, until it finally got hot ... Everybody has talent. It's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
George Lucas
'Young Indiana Jones' was one of the happiest times I ever had, so I love television.
George Lucas
A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.
George Lucas
None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for 'Indiana Jones.' Nobody in their right mind thought 'American Graffiti' or 'Star Wars' would work.
George Lucas
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
George Lucas
One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys.
George Lucas
Suddenly everything came together in one place. All my likes, everything I actually seemed to have talent for was right there. I said, Hey, this is it. I can do this really well. I really love to do it.
George Lucas
If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities.
George Lucas
I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff.
George Lucas
I like racing. I love the speed and I'm a very kinetic person in terms of filmmaking. I love the movement of film more than anything else.
George Lucas
People look at technology as sometimes an end to things, and it isn't an end in certain cases. In the movie business, the act of creating in the art form of movies, the craft of movies is completely technical, and that's all it is.
George Lucas
Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.
George Lucas
I like Star Wars, it's fun and I enjoy doing it. But it's definitely not my life. I'm a bigger movie fan than I am Star Wars fan. I like making movies.
George Lucas
I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
George Lucas
Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
George Lucas
Time is more important to me than money.
George Lucas
I have a strong feeling about interesting people in space exploration. . . . And the only way it's going to happen is to have some kid fantasize about getting his ray gun, jumping into his spaceship, and flying into outer space.
George Lucas
Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!'
George Lucas
I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate. They don't really know much about movies. They don't know the history. They don't know the technology. They don't know anything. So for them to try to analyze it, they're lost.
George Lucas
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
George Lucas
