Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
Steven Spielberg
Image
In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
Steven Spielberg
Image
It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.
Steven Spielberg
Image
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I don't make unconventional stories I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.

As a Jew I am aware of how important the existence of Israel is for the survival of us all. And because I am proud of being Jewish, I am worried by the growing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the world.

I feel there is no substitute for going out to the movies. There is nothing like it.
Steven Spielberg
Image
Whatever affect any of my films have on audiences, I just kind of stop at the door. I make them and I just don't go outside after they're over.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I always think if it's a good story, the audience can't wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I'm very used to working with first time actors - you can just look back at 'E.T.' with Drew Barrymore, and Christian Bale from 'Empire of the Sun,' who'd never made a movie before.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
Steven Spielberg
Image
It is not my job to compare my movies. I don't like to compare my films with other movies because I don't really have that perspective. It is an intellectual exercise, but it doesn't intuitively come to me.
Steven Spielberg
Image
The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I turned down 'Harry Potter' and 'Spider-Man,' two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don't need my ego to be reminded.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I'll never make enough films to purge them all.
Steven Spielberg

You never really know how good of a leader you are until there is something there is lead us to, toward or through or to overcome.
