The underlying issues, the psychological motives, in all my movies have been the same, he said. Personal responsibility and friendship, the importance of a compassionate life as opposed to a passionate life.

More quotes by George Lucas
Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
George Lucas
I think that Lethal Weapon-style dialogue is overused, it's a necessary aspect of high action films where you have to have the smart retort. You have to say I'll be back baby and stuff. It's not my style.
George Lucas
We are all living in cages with the door wide open.
George Lucas
I never had a story for the sequels, for the last trilogy. That's not really part of the plan at this point, and I'll be at the age where to do another trilogy would take 10 years. I'd always envisioned it as six movies. When you see it in six parts you'll understand that it really ends at part six.
George Lucas
'Young Indiana Jones' was one of the happiest times I ever had, so I love television.
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
Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. You can be a very small hero. It's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. Everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
George Lucas
Film is not an easy occupation. There's a lot of occupations that are difficult and film is one of them.
George Lucas
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
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
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
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'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living. When I was making Star Wars, I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.
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
I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.
George Lucas
[In ancient Rome,] why did the senate after killing Caesar turn around and give the government to his nephew? Why did France after they got rid of the king and that whole system turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.
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
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.
George Lucas
I was always extremely curious about why people did the things they do.
George Lucas
Storytelling is about two things it's about character and plot.
