More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm not a snob. If I feel like there's a star that's the best person for that role, then that's who I get.
Steven Soderbergh
People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.
Steven Soderbergh
Everybody, including me, has to submit to what it needs to be. The thing is at the top of the pyramid, the best version of the thing we all have to serve that. You forget that at your own risk. And I think movies are too long, in general.
Steven Soderbergh
My experience over the years with working with people who are not actors or not trained actors is that you have to get to know them well enough to see what they have that's translatable onto the screen.
Steven Soderbergh
You’re supposed to expand your mind to fit the art, you’re not supposed to chop the art down to fit your mind.
Steven Soderbergh
I guess I just look at talent as a very subjective thing. I mean, if you never tried playing an oboe, how do you know you're not the most talented oboe player ever? The point is that if you don't love it, then it doesn't matter.
Steven Soderbergh
I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist. If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.
Steven Soderbergh
Your take on things is what is either going to make you somebody people talk about or no.
Steven Soderbergh
We're all standing on the shoulders of what other people have done. But you're supposed to take that and add your own sauce. It can be intimidating, believe me.
Steven Soderbergh
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.
Steven Soderbergh
We all get outraged by things and there are things that make us angry and maybe for a while we get angry enough to actually go do something about it.
Steven Soderbergh
If you're going to make a movie for ten thousand you can talk everybody into doing it for free. You could make a really good-looking movie right for ten grand, if you have an idea.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm a grinder. I'll beat you because I will not sleep.
Steven Soderbergh
To me the director’s job is to leave it in better shape than you found it, literally.
Steven Soderbergh
My father, who was the one who really got me hooked on movies, liked all kinds of films, and I saw all kinds of films at a very young age.
Steven Soderbergh
Everything had been done long before I started making movies. I mean, there's nothing that Godard hasn't already done. You can't do a single thing that Godard hasn't already thought of. And so you struggle to do something that is not predictable.
Steven Soderbergh
That's why my attitude, even on my larger-scale movies, is to make them cheap. The less these things cost, the better for everybody.
Steven Soderbergh
I come from a generation that was surrounded by popular music, but I don't know if anybody's ever going to move the ball forward as far and as fast as the Beatles did.
Steven Soderbergh
Jude [Law] is really good at playing an obsessive. He has a very watchable quality when he's on a quest for something.
