More quotes by Steven Spielberg
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
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
Steven Spielberg
'E.T.' began with me trying to write a story about my parents' divorce.
Steven Spielberg
The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.
Steven Spielberg
Because television doesn't offer the kind of budget that a movie offers, you've got to be a little more careful where you spend the money to put the fiction in science.
Steven Spielberg
The best time of my life has been the three instances where I have been there for the birth of my children. That is, nothing [else] has ever come close.
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
Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
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
When I grow up, I still want to be a director.
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
There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
Steven Spielberg
If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
Steven Spielberg
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.
Steven Spielberg
I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.
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
I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.
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
I don't think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today. But it's certainly worth a try.
Steven Spielberg
The only thing that gets me back to directing is good scripts.
