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
If I had time and a hammer, I'd track down every bootleg copy and smash it.
George Lucas
There's nothing worse than the frustration of having somebody who you feel doesn't get what you're doing, trying to turn it into something else. It's a very, very annoying and sort of frustrating thing and I just never wanted to go through it. I was very fortunate as I came up through the film business that I was able to insulate myself from that.
George Lucas
Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
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
These Are Not The Droids You Are Looking For.
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
Today it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga.
George Lucas
Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.
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
I wanted to transfer to an art school, and ended up going to the University of Southern California. They had a cinematography school, and I said Well, that's sort of like photography, maybe that will be interesting. And once I started in that department, I found what it was that I loved and was good at.
George Lucas
One of the most telling things about film school is you've got a lot of students wandering around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish I could make a movie.
George Lucas
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
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.
George Lucas
You can be as rich, and famous, and powerful as you want to be, and it will not bring you happiness. That's said over and over and over, again. It's such a cliché that it hardly needs to be said, but people don't understand that it's actually true.
George Lucas
Oh, my. I'd forgotten how much I hate space travel.
George Lucas
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
George Lucas
I haven't met anybody who hasn't been able to describe years and years and years of very, very difficult struggle through the whole process of achieving anything whatsoever. And there's no way to sort of get around that.
George Lucas
Never tell me the odds!
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
[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
