More quotes by 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
It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.
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
I'm not precious about anything. The effort it took to get something means nothing to me in post. It means nothing to the audience. I'll chop limbs off. I'll put an arm where a leg should be. I'll do anything.
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
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
Never had a cup of coffee in my life. Dr Pepper is my caffeine delivery system of choice.
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
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
It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.
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
It's a weird thing to say, but it would appear to me axiomatic that if you understood fully what I was doing and appreciated it, you would like it.
Steven Soderbergh
A real explosion is not only much more fun to shoot, it also helps the actors and creates an energy on set and ultimately in the scene.
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
There is sadness of when you're watching someone enjoy something that you think is substandard. The ineffable sadness when someone is happy and something is not as good as it should be.
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
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'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
Whenever you experiment with something, it's very easy to take the emotion out of it. And going back and forth between wanting to be respected artistically and wanting to move people is its own challenge.
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.
