More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
You should never assume anything coming from a critical standpoint. You should go into everything assuming you're going to get crushed.
Steven Soderbergh
I recently decided that I'm not an originator. I'm a synthesist.
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
I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
Steven Soderbergh
Some filmmakers, you know, have their style and then they kind of go looking for the movie. I'm not like that. I don't have one style that I want to take from movie to movie.
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
I had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films.
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 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
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'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
I actually didn't find out about a lot of music until I was older. Some people have been listening to the Beatles their whole lives I didn't discover them until I was 18 years old.
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
The muscle memory of filtering away all the wrong versions of what you're doing improves the more time you're on a film set. I feel like my problem-solving algorithm got kicked up a notch.
Steven Soderbergh
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.
Steven Soderbergh
I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.
Steven Soderbergh
A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.
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
Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.
