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.

More quotes by 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
You can't put a title card at the head of the movie and say, Well, we really had a bad problem. You know, the actor got sick and it rained this day and we had a hurricane.
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
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
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
George Lucas
Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. You can be a very small hero. It's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. Everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
George Lucas
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
Good luck has its storms.
George Lucas
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
George Lucas
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.
George Lucas
Don't avoid the cliches - they are cliches because they work!
George Lucas
People look at technology as sometimes an end to things, and it isn't an end in certain cases. In the movie business, the act of creating in the art form of movies, the craft of movies is completely technical, and that's all it is.
George Lucas
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.
George Lucas
I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that the films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them.
George Lucas
'Star Wars' is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It's what they want.
George Lucas
A talent is a combination of something you love a great deal and something you can lose yourself in - something that you can start at 9 o'clock, look up from your work and it's 10 o'clock at night.
George Lucas
Oh, my. I'd forgotten how much I hate space travel.
George Lucas
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
Part of the reason my friends and I became successful is that we were always helping each other.
George Lucas
I've discovered that most critics themselves are cinematically illiterate. They don't really know much about movies. They don't know the history. They don't know the technology. They don't know anything. So for them to try to analyze it, they're lost.
George Lucas
