More quotes by 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
The story being told in 'Star Wars' is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you're in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they're actually not.
George Lucas
'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.
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
All of my films have been very hard to understand at the script stage because they're very different. At the time I did them they were not conventional. The executives could only think in terms of what they'd already seen. It's hard for them to think in terms of what has never been done before.
George Lucas
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
George Lucas
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
I think one of the reasons that Steven (Spielberg) and I have been as successful as we have is because we like the movies. We like to go to the movies. We enjoy movies and we want to make movies like the ones we enjoy.
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
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
I've always tried to be aware of what I say in my films, because all of us who make motion pictures are teachers - teachers with very loud voices.
George Lucas
I'm not in a contest. I make movies. I'm not a racehorse.
George Lucas
It's okay to lose just don't lose the lesson.
George Lucas
There wasn't anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies.
George Lucas
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
George Lucas
Star Wars is a saga of Good vs. Evil, divided into nine parts.
George Lucas
I think crossing into the digital age is the big move for the industry. I think it will be the biggest thing that's happened while I've been making movies. I equate it to the invention of color or sound, and I don't see any other major technical process coming along and changing that.
George Lucas
I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.
George Lucas
The influence of 'Hidden Fortress' comes up a lot because it was printed in a book once. The truth is, the only thing I was inspired by was the fact that it's told from the point of view of two peasants, who get mixed up with a samurai and princess and a lot of very high-level people.
George Lucas
Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
George Lucas
