I'm always a little unnerved when I see a show that's set in the past that implies in any way that things were nicer then.

More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
Surprisingly, I don't throw away that much. I don't move forward with a lot of things unless they're going somewhere. You also have to remember that when you're working with other artists, you have to be really careful about how you deal with that stuff.
Steven Soderbergh
I have a friend whose theory is that you're from wherever you went to high school. I think that's mostly true.
Steven Soderbergh
There's a big difference between a movie about relationships and a movie in which people talk about relationships. It seems like a lot of people have confused the two.
Steven Soderbergh
We have to have a version of our own story that we keep telling ourselves that allows us to get up in the morning. This version of yourself is what you sell to yourself. I think it necessarily includes ... not looking at certain things. Everybody's got some blind spot.
Steven Soderbergh
Never had a cup of coffee in my life. Dr Pepper is my caffeine delivery system of choice.
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
I'm obviously really opinionated, but as a producer, you don't necessarily want the person you're working with to try to impress you - you want them to just be themselves.
Steven Soderbergh
You can't change who you are, so I think that the only thing you can do is just never talk to people about stuff and then hope that maybe does something.
Steven Soderbergh
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.
Steven Soderbergh
Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.
Steven Soderbergh
The key is, how do you feel with the one asshole? They cannot be talked to. That's why they are assholes.
Steven Soderbergh
It takes one asshole to ruin the whole thing. That's it. One. The problem with the world is one asshole comes up with a really bad idea and now we're all taking our shoes off at the airport.
Steven Soderbergh
You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.
Steven Soderbergh
I have no shame in making music that maybe, if you listen to it long enough, you'll realize you've heard this or that part of it before. I'm still very excited by an amazingly written song, so that's really the thing that I work on when I make records with people.
Steven Soderbergh
I grew up mostly in the South, and there's definitely something about the South that's different from the North. When people ask me where I'm from, I say Louisiana. I spent more years there than anywhere else.
Steven Soderbergh
My working life is me doing what I want to do. This is that. I've made movies that people don't go to see.
Steven Soderbergh
A meteor hits planet Earth - that's a story idea but that doesn't give me any indication of what the character is.
Steven Soderbergh
But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm probably more character-driven than plot-driven. It's rare for me to attach myself to an idea for a story.
