There wasn't much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things.

More quotes by George Lucas
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
George Lucas
I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.
George Lucas
One of the things that will never get explained in the films is how Ben was able to retain his identity, because it happened somewhere between the third and fourth movies. I set up that this is a discipline that he learned from Yoda Yoda told him how to do that.
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
Han Solo: Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
George Lucas
Sound is 50 percent of the movie going experience, and I've always believed audiences are moved and excited by what they hear in my movies at least as much as by what they see.
George Lucas
'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.
George Lucas
In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
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
The older you get, the less seriously you take criticism. I've gotten to a point now where I ignore it completely. It's just not relevant to me anymore.
George Lucas
If you look at 'Blade Runner,' it's been cut sixteen ways from Sunday, and there are all kinds of different versions of it.
George Lucas
You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.
George Lucas
[Star Wars is] designed primarily to make young people think about the mystery. Not to say, 'Here's the answer.' It's to say, 'Think about this for a second. Is there a God? What does God look like? What does God sound like? What does God feel like? How do we relate to God?'
George Lucas
I'm very proud of all the movies I made. I am very happy with everything I've done. I like to watch my movies. Some of them work. Some of them don't. Some of them people like, most of them they don't.
George Lucas
I made lots of movies while in school while everybody else was running around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish they'd give me some film.
George Lucas
Being in Washington is more fictional than being in Hollywood.
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
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
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
