More quotes by Steven Spielberg
I've just always had a personal fascination with the myth of Abraham Lincoln. And once you start to read about him and the Civil War and everything leading up to the Civil War, you start to understand that the myth is created when we think we understand a character and we reduce him to a kind of cultural national stereotype.
Steven Spielberg
I don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.
Steven Spielberg
I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.
Steven Spielberg
I just think that the qualities of leadership are unknown even to the leader until he's tested and given a challenge.
Steven Spielberg
In '83, not only was there no such thing as performance motion capture technology, there was no such thing as digital animation. This was the analog era.
Steven Spielberg
I've been shooting movies and television shows for now 47 years and I've worked with the best of them and [Kirk Douglas] is the only movie star I ever met.
Steven Spielberg
I made 'Empire of the Sun' in Shanghai in the 1980s and want to come back one day to make a movie in China.
Steven Spielberg
This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.
Steven Spielberg
I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans.
Steven Spielberg
I was a scared kid... I think I was born a nervous wreck, and I think movies were one way to find a way transferring my own private horrors to everyone else's lives. It was less of an escape and more of an exorcism.
Steven Spielberg
You look at war as something that is putting your best friend in jeopardy. You are responsible for the person in front of you and the person behind you, and the person to the left of you and the person to the right of you.
Steven Spielberg
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
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
Steven Spielberg
I once said that CGI makes you less inventive. At the time I was bemoaning the loss of the practical stunt. If a stunt can be done practically and safely, I'd rather do it old-style.
Steven Spielberg
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
People have forgotten how to tell a story.
Steven Spielberg
I love to go to a regular movie theater, especially when the movie is a big crowd-pleaser. It's much better watching a movie with 500 people making noise than with just a dozen.
Steven Spielberg
I think every movie I've made after 'Indiana Jones,' I've tried to make every single movie as if it was made by a different director, because I'm very conscious of not wanting to impose a consistent style on subject matter that is not necessarily suited to that style. So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject.
Steven Spielberg
The turning point in my career was Jaws. It was a turning point because I was a director-for-hire before Jaws and because it was such a big hit I could do any movie I wanted and Hollywood just wrote me a cheque.
Steven Spielberg
All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
