More quotes by 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

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
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 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
Your take on things is what is either going to make you somebody people talk about or no.
Steven Soderbergh
I always have a plan, but then I'm always ready to throw the plan out, and everyone's ready to make a radical left turn if necessary.
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
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
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
People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.
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
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
Truth and facts have to trump partisanship. There has to be something that's true regardless of what your angle is on it.
Steven Soderbergh
I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
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.
