More quotes by George Lucas
There's nothing worse than the frustration of having somebody who you feel doesn't get what you're doing, trying to turn it into something else. It's a very, very annoying and sort of frustrating thing and I just never wanted to go through it. I was very fortunate as I came up through the film business that I was able to insulate myself from that.
George Lucas
I think as you grow up, you realize you have obligations just in your life - being a citizen, being part of humanity - to help other people, to help your country, to help the world.
George Lucas
I regret not the things I have done, only those I have yet to do.
George Lucas
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
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
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
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
George Lucas
To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
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 would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.
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
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
It's hard work making movies. It's like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it's emotional, tense work. If you don't really love it, then it ain't worth it.
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
Never tell me the odds!
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
The influence of 'Hidden Fortress' comes up a lot because it was printed in a book once. The truth is, the only thing I was inspired by was the fact that it's told from the point of view of two peasants, who get mixed up with a samurai and princess and a lot of very high-level people.
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
That had always been my purpose: to get people back in touch with what makes us so valuable as a human race.
George Lucas
Storytelling is about two things it's about character and plot.
