When I grow up, I still want to be a director.
Steven Spielberg
Image
When I was younger, all I cared about was what people thought of me and my films. Now I care less about catering, hand-serving, hand-feeding the audience. I've gotten to the point now in my life where I'm serving myself.
Steven Spielberg

This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.
Steven Spielberg
Image
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
Steven Spielberg

There is something that you have that no one else ever had ... When you watch Kirk's [Douglas] performance in anything, in anything he's ever done, you cannot take your eyes off of him. It's not possible to look away from him.

I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important.

Steven Spielberg

My head's not in the clouds, but I think I've gotten too much credit for being an astute businessman.
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
The bones of the story of 'War Horse' is a love story. That's what makes it universal.
Steven Spielberg
Image
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I usually do about five cuts as a director. I haven't ever directed a film where I haven't made five passes through the movie, and that takes a long time.
Steven Spielberg
Image
From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.
Steven Spielberg
Image
All through my career I've done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start.

I'm 62 years old. Am I old enough to win a lifetime achievement award? Yes, I am. Thank you very much.

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.
