Quote

The sciences are the 'how,' and the humanities are the 'why' - why are we here, why do we believe in the things we believe in. I don't think you can have the 'how' without the 'why.'

Whenever you're making a movie, especially when you're writing, you always have self-doubts.
George Lucas
Image
You need to have a lot of close family around you, a lot of friends to keep you honest. Take your time, take a year and just slow everything down a little bit. Get away from the success part, stay with yourself. Go off on a beach somewhere or do something to keep yourself aligned right.
George Lucas
Image
None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for 'Indiana Jones.' Nobody in their right mind thought 'American Graffiti' or 'Star Wars' would work.

Being in Washington is more fictional than being in Hollywood.
George Lucas
Image
Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
