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.

More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.
Steven Soderbergh
I tend to be drawn more to people than pure story ideas.
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
To me the director’s job is to leave it in better shape than you found it, literally.
Steven Soderbergh
People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.
Steven Soderbergh
I suppose I could try to be some avant-garde artist if I wanted to, but that doesn't interest me as much.
Steven Soderbergh
It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.
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
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
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 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
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
You can't change who you are, so I think that the only thing you can do is just never talk to people about stuff and then hope that maybe does something.
Steven Soderbergh
A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.
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
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 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
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
Your take on things is what is either going to make you somebody people talk about or no.
Steven Soderbergh
