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.

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
I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
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
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
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
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 suppose I could try to be some avant-garde artist if I wanted to, but that doesn't interest me as much.
Steven Soderbergh
I recently decided that I'm not an originator. I'm a synthesist.
Steven Soderbergh
I think there are only two times that I've ever ended up paying somebody their quote. Like what they actually were worth in the marketplace.
Steven Soderbergh
In nature, if a cell gets too big, it divides. You can't come up with a set of rules that's going to work for 350 million people. You're just not.
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 tend to be drawn more to people than pure story ideas.
Steven Soderbergh
I'm in the process of working out an arrangement to make some very, very, very small films in the midst of all these films and maybe that will help. But you get tired of talking. You just want to do it.
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 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 had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films.
Steven Soderbergh
A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.
Steven Soderbergh
A Movie That Costs Only $1.6 Million Doesn't Have to Be a Cultural Event to Turn a Profit.
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
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
