More quotes by Steven Soderbergh
What's great about things like Kickstarter is that it enables me, finally, and without any bad feeling at all, when people come up to me now saying, I want to do this. I can just go, There are no excuses anymore.
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
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.
Steven Soderbergh
In Full Frontal and K Street, I learned to take advantage of the mobility that digital provides.
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
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
You should never assume anything coming from a critical standpoint. You should go into everything assuming you're going to get crushed.
Steven Soderbergh
Everything had been done long before I started making movies. I mean, there's nothing that Godard hasn't already done. You can't do a single thing that Godard hasn't already thought of. And so you struggle to do something that is not predictable.
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
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
A meteor hits planet Earth - that's a story idea but that doesn't give me any indication of what the character is.
Steven Soderbergh
It takes one asshole to ruin the whole thing. That's it. One. The problem with the world is one asshole comes up with a really bad idea and now we're all taking our shoes off at the airport.
Steven Soderbergh
I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
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
A Movie That Costs Only $1.6 Million Doesn't Have to Be a Cultural Event to Turn a Profit.
Steven Soderbergh
If you're going to make a movie for ten thousand you can talk everybody into doing it for free. You could make a really good-looking movie right for ten grand, if you have an idea.
Steven Soderbergh
Surprisingly, I don't throw away that much. I don't move forward with a lot of things unless they're going somewhere. You also have to remember that when you're working with other artists, you have to be really careful about how you deal with that stuff.
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
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.
