People like Chris Nolan are shooting isolated sequences in IMAX. Those cameras are the size of a Volkswagen.

I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

You should never assume anything coming from a critical standpoint. You should go into everything assuming you're going to get crushed.
Steven Soderbergh
Image
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.

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.

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.

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
Image
You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.

You’re supposed to expand your mind to fit the art, you’re not supposed to chop the art down to fit your mind.

I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.

In Full Frontal and K Street, I learned to take advantage of the mobility that digital provides.

It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.
