No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

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.

Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.

Most organisms either adapt and become part of the system, or get wiped out. The only thing we have to adapt to the system with is our brain. If we don't use it, and we don't adapt fast enough, we won't survive.

Whenever you're making a movie, especially when you're writing, you always have self-doubts.
George Lucas
Image
When a movie comes out, I always go off on a beach so I miss all the craziness that goes on, all the hoopla, and the hype and the success, and how much it's making, or whether it's doing good or whether it's doing bad.

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

A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.
George Lucas
Image
I'd be the first person to say I can't write dialogue. My dialogue is very utilitarian and is designed to move things forward. I'm not Shakespeare. It's not designed to be poetic.

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks.
George Lucas
Image
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
George Lucas
Image
Obviously, people have a lot of different dreams of where America should be, and where it should fit into things. Obviously, very few of them are compatible, and very few of them are very compatible with the laws of nature.
George Lucas
Image
I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.
George Lucas
Image
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.

I thought it was too wacky for the general public. On his original opinion of his movie's chances for success, 1997.

I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
