More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
I just find it annoying that in these sequences [of the fight scenes], traditionally, there's music trying to pump you up. I don't like that, personally, as an audience member. This just reflects my taste.
Steven Soderbergh
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.
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 key is, how do you feel with the one asshole? They cannot be talked to. That's why they are assholes.
Steven Soderbergh
I had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films.
Steven Soderbergh
Well, it's 15 years since Sex, Lies And Videotape, and if you hang around long enough you're having the same arguments with just a new set of people every few years and it gets boring.
Steven Soderbergh
Castro, without question, is one of the smartest politicians that's ever walked.
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
You can't get good at anything unless you do it day in and day out, over and over.
Steven Soderbergh
I recently decided that I'm not an originator. I'm a synthesist.
Steven Soderbergh
It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.
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
I just produced Criminal, this remake of Nine Queens, and one of the things that appealed to me about Nine Queens is that it was a performance piece, and that's the most fun.
Steven Soderbergh
You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them.
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 stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
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.
Steven Soderbergh
It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm a grinder. I'll beat you because I will not sleep.
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
