More quotes by George Lucas
Storytelling is about two things it's about character and plot.
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
Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose
George Lucas
I thought it was too wacky for the general public. On his original opinion of his movie's chances for success, 1997.
George Lucas
Real love is on the inside. It's somebody you have a common ground with, you share the same values, you share the same interests, you share the same humor, you share all those things that are things that will last you the rest of your life.
George Lucas
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.
George Lucas
Never tell me the odds!
George Lucas
When my films don't work it's usually because I tried some very experimental idea. I tried new ideas and they just didn't work, as opposed to trying to do something conventional and having it be so conventional nobody wanted to see it.
George Lucas
I made lots of movies while in school while everybody else was running around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish they'd give me some film.
George Lucas
I must admit I suffered a bit when I first came to England. But then I realised that there was nothing to be intimidated by, everybody had two legs.
George Lucas
That had always been my purpose: to get people back in touch with what makes us so valuable as a human race.
George Lucas
I intend more of a kinship with silent films than more modern film. I like the old cinema. My films are more of a hybrid - a different style of filmmaking to what I call talking head movies. Some people don't get it. Especially the more academic types.
George Lucas
Film is a very tight little box. If you don't fit in that box, you're gone. Television, there's more room to move around.
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
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
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.
George Lucas
On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’
George Lucas
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've had much more down in my life than I've had up. And much more struggle. First of all, when I went into the film school everybody said, What are you doing? This is a complete dead-end for a career.
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
