The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film - whether it's history, psychology, economics, or architecture - so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn't going to help you unless you have something to say.
George Lucas

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
George Lucas
Image
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.

[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
Image
I grew up in the era, 'Don't trust anybody over 30.' And, you know, I still feel that. Don't trust me.
George Lucas
Image
One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys.

For the third trilogy, I don't know if I will still be alive when it comes the time to make them.
George Lucas
Image
You may make something you don't think is very important during your lifetime and it'll last for a thousand years.
George Lucas
Image
It's not a matter of how well can you make a movie. It's how well can you make it under the circumstance, because there's always circumstances. You cannot use that as an excuse.
George Lucas
Image
I'm not in a contest. I make movies. I'm not a racehorse.

Image
Because we [people] have an intellect, part of what we do is try to understand the intelligent design. Everything we don't know is intelligent design. Everything we do know is science.

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

The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.

But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies.
