Quote

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.

Impressive, most impressive. (Darth Vadar)

Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
George Lucas

Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
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 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

Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.
George Lucas
Image
Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!'
George Lucas
Image
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.

When a movie comes out, I always go off on a beach so I miss all the craziness that goes on, all the hoopla, and the hype and the success, and how much it's making, or whether it's doing good or whether it's doing bad. I just miss it all. I don't talk to anybody, and a couple weeks later I come back and it's all over with.

Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
George Lucas
Image
I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished.
George Lucas

I felt that one of the major issues in the third film is that Luke is finally on his own and has to fight Vader and the Emperor by himself. If you get a sense that Yoda or Ben is there to help him or to somehow influence him, it diminishes the power of the scene.
George Lucas
Image
You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
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
Image
Never tell me the odds!
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

Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard.
George Lucas

'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.
