I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.

More quotes by George Lucas
Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer. I'm very interested in studying cultures and social issues, but as an academic I don't think I would have been too successful.
George Lucas
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard. What you’ve really got to do is focus on learning as much about life, and about various aspects of it first.
George Lucas
On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’
George Lucas
But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies.
George Lucas
I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.
George Lucas
I never had a story for the sequels, for the last trilogy. That's not really part of the plan at this point, and I'll be at the age where to do another trilogy would take 10 years. I'd always envisioned it as six movies. When you see it in six parts you'll understand that it really ends at part six.
George Lucas
It's okay to lose just don't lose the lesson.
George Lucas
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
George Lucas
There wasn't anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies.
George Lucas
My life is making movies. I like storytelling, and I've got a lot of stories that are stored up in my head that I hope to get out before my time is up.
George Lucas
I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.
George Lucas
Impressive, most impressive. (Darth Vadar)
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
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
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 felt that one of the major issues in the third film is that Luke is finally on his own and has to fight Vader and the Emperor by himself. If you get a sense that Yoda or Ben is there to help him or to somehow influence him, it diminishes the power of the scene.
George Lucas
Human nature means battling constantly between being completely self-absorbed and trying to be a communal creature. Nature makes you a communal creature. The ultimate single-minded, self-centered creature is a cancer cell. And mostly, we're not made up of cancer cells.
George Lucas
That's the issue that I've been exploring: How did the Republic turn into the Empire? That's paralleled with: How did Anakin turn into Darth Vader? How does a good person go bad, and how does a democracy become a dictatorship? It isn't that the Empire conquered the Republic, it's that the Empire is the Republic.
George Lucas
The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.
George Lucas
I think one of the reasons that Steven (Spielberg) and I have been as successful as we have is because we like the movies. We like to go to the movies. We enjoy movies and we want to make movies like the ones we enjoy.
George Lucas
