More quotes by George Lucas
I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff.
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
Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
George Lucas
Part of the reason my friends and I became successful is that we were always helping each other.
George Lucas
The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
George Lucas
Everyone seems to think that digital technology devoids the medium of content, but that is not true at all. If anything, it broadens the content.
George Lucas
One of the most telling things about film school is you've got a lot of students wandering around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish I could make a movie.
George Lucas
I am more of a visual person than a verbal person. For me, I think, the excitement is the fact that I found a way of telling the story as I want to tell it, in a medium that I could master.
George Lucas
Emotionally involving the audience is easy. Anybody can do it blindfolded: get a little kitten and have some guy wring its neck.
George Lucas
Follow your bliss. Do the thing where you sit down at 8 a.m. and then you realize you're hungry and you look up and it's 10 p.m. If you can find something you love that much, it doesn't matter what you do.
George Lucas
I regret not the things I have done, only those I have yet to do.
George Lucas
Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.
George Lucas
I've had much more down in my life than I've had up. And much more struggle. First of all, when I went into the film school everybody said, What are you doing? This is a complete dead-end for a career.
George Lucas
[In ancient Rome,] why did the senate after killing Caesar turn around and give the government to his nephew? Why did France after they got rid of the king and that whole system turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.
George Lucas
I'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living. When I was making Star Wars, I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.
George Lucas
Sometimes you must let go of your pride and do what is asked of us. Anakin Skywalker, Episode 2: Attack of the Clones
George Lucas
When a movie comes out, I always go off on a beach so I miss all the craziness that goes on, all the hoopla, and the hype and the success, and how much it's making, or whether it's doing good or whether it's doing bad. I just miss it all. I don't talk to anybody, and a couple weeks later I come back and it's all over with.
George Lucas
Star Wars is a saga of Good vs. Evil, divided into nine parts.
George Lucas
Obviously, people have a lot of different dreams of where America should be, and where it should fit into things. Obviously, very few of them are compatible, and very few of them are very compatible with the laws of nature.
George Lucas
I like making movies. I like the process. I like trying out new ideas, and if they don't work, they don't work. That's the reason I generated the money in the first place, to be able to try things. That's where I spend my money.
George Lucas
