More quotes by 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
When we look at what's going on in the world and we see the immense level of conflict that seems to always be happening - you can always trace it back to competing narratives.
Steven Soderbergh
When I look around the world and think why is everything working or not working, it's because it's entrenched ideology. You can't solve a problem if you're sitting down with people who say, All these ideas are off the table because of what I believe.
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
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
Your take on things is what is either going to make you somebody people talk about or no.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.
Steven Soderbergh
To me the director’s job is to leave it in better shape than you found it, literally.
Steven Soderbergh
I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
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
I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating...anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us-I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.
Steven Soderbergh
Every time you make something that somebody likes, your impulse is to remind them that if you hadn't made some of these other things that they hated, you wouldn't have been able to make the thing that they liked.
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
Castro, without question, is one of the smartest politicians that's ever walked.
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
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
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
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
