Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
George Lucas
Image
I want to live where I want to live, and I will make films because I love to make films.

When you get a small group of fans who hate something, it becomes compounded by the internet. The press picks up the internet like it's a source. They don't realise it is just one person typing out their opinion.
George Lucas
Image
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
George Lucas
Image
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

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.
