Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard. What you’ve really got to do is focus on learning as much about life, and about various aspects of it first.

More quotes by George Lucas
You may make something you don't think is very important during your lifetime and it'll last for a thousand years.
George Lucas
There wasn't anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies.
George Lucas
I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.
George Lucas
'Star Wars' is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It's what they want.
George Lucas
I am more of a visual person than a verbal person. For me, I think, the excitement is the fact that I found a way of telling the story as I want to tell it, in a medium that I could master.
George Lucas
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.
George Lucas
[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
Emotionally involving the audience is easy. Anybody can do it blindfolded: get a little kitten and have some guy wring its neck.
George Lucas
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
George Lucas
I like Star Wars, it's fun and I enjoy doing it. But it's definitely not my life. I'm a bigger movie fan than I am Star Wars fan. I like making movies.
George Lucas
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
We are all living in cages with the door wide open.
George Lucas
The first script was one of six original stories I had written in the form of two trilogies. After the success of Star Wars, I added another trilogy. So now there are nine stories. The original two trilogies were conceived of as six films of which the first film was number four.
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
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
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
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
George Lucas
It's okay to lose just don't lose the lesson.
George Lucas
A lot of people like to do certain things, but they're not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.
George Lucas
