Quote

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.

I like to say that films are never finished, they're only abandoned.
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

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.

I like racing. I love the speed and I'm a very kinetic person in terms of filmmaking. I love the movement of film more than anything else.
George Lucas
Image
I'd be the first person to say I can't write dialogue. My dialogue is very utilitarian and is designed to move things forward. I'm not Shakespeare. It's not designed to be poetic.
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.

I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
George Lucas
Image
Time is more important to me than money.

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
Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other.

For the third trilogy, I don't know if I will still be alive when it comes the time to make them.
George Lucas

I'm extremely grateful that I discovered my passion. I love movies. I love to watch them, I love to make them.

Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.

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.

Suddenly everything came together in one place. All my likes, everything I actually seemed to have talent for was right there. I said, Hey, this is it. I can do this really well. I really love to do it.
