More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.
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
The art model of problem solving is incredibly efficient because ideology has no place there.There's only the thing and what the thing needs to be.
Steven Soderbergh
It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.
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
Once I had a potentially heart attack-inducing eight double espressos in one day. I think my assistant secretly swaps my coffees for decaf as she doesn't want me to die of caffeine overdose.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.
Steven Soderbergh
We [people] are a species that's wired to tell stories. We need stories. It's how we make sense of things. It's how we learn.
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
Jude [Law] is really good at playing an obsessive. He has a very watchable quality when he's on a quest for something.
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
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
I know why we can't have a frank discussion with our policymakers - if you're in the government or in law enforcement you cannot acknowledge that drugs are anything but inherently evil and morally wrong.
Steven Soderbergh
I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out.
Steven Soderbergh
I can make a movie about Lee Harvey Oswald and make you feel what he feels and make you understand why he believes what he believes. That doesn't mean I think you should go out and shoot JFK.
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 make every movie like it's the last one. If this was the last movie, what decision would I make? That's how I make my decisions.
Steven Soderbergh
All human interaction, you can break it down to incentives. All relationships, at some level, are transactional. They're fascinated with incentives.
Steven Soderbergh
There are three major social issues that this country is struggling with: education, poverty, and drugs. Two of them we talk about, and one of them we don't.
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
