More quotes by George Lucas
'Young Indiana Jones' was one of the happiest times I ever had, so I love television.
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
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
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
That had always been my purpose: to get people back in touch with what makes us so valuable as a human race.
George Lucas
I like to say that films are never finished, they're only abandoned.
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
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
I'm lucky enough that there is never a blank canvas in front of me... I have hundreds of projects that I want to do but I am running out of time.
George Lucas
Han Solo: Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
George Lucas
As I talk to film students now especially, I say, The easiest job you'll ever get is to try to make your first film. That's the easy one to get, is the first film because nobody knows whether you can make a film or not.
George Lucas
The ideals and principles for which Martin Luther King Jr. fought have never been forgotten and are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
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 loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
George Lucas
As you go through history, I didn't think it was going to get quite this close. So it's just one of those recurring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will waken people to the situation.
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
Someday you're going to have to learn to separate what seems to be important from what really is important.
George Lucas
You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks.
George Lucas
You can be as rich, and famous, and powerful as you want to be, and it will not bring you happiness. That's said over and over and over, again. It's such a cliché that it hardly needs to be said, but people don't understand that it's actually true.
George Lucas
Film is a very tight little box. If you don't fit in that box, you're gone. Television, there's more room to move around.
George Lucas
