More quotes by Steven Spielberg
I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.
Steven Spielberg
Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.
Steven Spielberg
Desperate times require desperate measures. What Lincoln and the Lobbyist for the Amendment and the Manager of the Amendment and himself, what they did to get this passed was not illegal. It was murky, but what they did was noble and grand. How they went about it was somewhat murky. Nothing they did was really illegal.
Steven Spielberg
I get very, very anxious on the set. I have a thousand ideas and I don't censor myself. I wind up cutting some of them out in the editing room... I shoot [needless footage] and then don't use later on in the process.
Steven Spielberg
I see some parallels between then [Lincoln's era] and now. Certainly the division of ideologies between two parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In 1865, the Democrats were the Conservatives and the Republicans were the progressives, and today it's just the opposite.
Steven Spielberg
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.
Steven Spielberg
If Bush, as I believe, has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction, I cannot not support the policies of his government.
Steven Spielberg
The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.
Steven Spielberg
I love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.
Steven Spielberg
I'll probably never win an Oscar, but I'll sure have a lot of fun! I really believe that movies are the great escape.
Steven Spielberg
Fathering is a major job, but I need both things in my life: my job to be a director, and my kids to direct me.
Steven Spielberg
I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.
Steven Spielberg
I interviewed survivors, I went to Poland, saw the cities and spent time with the people and spoke to the Jews who had come back to Poland after the war and talked about why they had come back.
Steven Spielberg
All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
Steven Spielberg
I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.
Steven Spielberg
I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
Steven Spielberg
My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid, and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the night. My heart was beating I didn't know what he wanted to do. He wouldn't tell me, and he put me in the car and we went off, and I saw all these people lying on blankets, looking up at the sky.
Steven Spielberg
You can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.
