More quotes by Steven Spielberg
I don't make unconventional stories I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.
Steven Spielberg
I have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.
Steven Spielberg
I think that a movie can only be an adjunct or only a supplement to books, to different points of view, to scholars, historians and your own teachers.
Steven Spielberg
I did 50 takes on Robert Shaw assembling the Greener Gun on 'Jaws.' The shark wasn't working, so I just kept shooting to make the production report look like we were accomplishing something and to keep cast and crew from going crazy from boredom. It was a strategic indulgence.
Steven Spielberg
There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg
When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn't permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.
Steven Spielberg
I've discovered I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by large forces.
Steven Spielberg
It starts with the writer-it's a familiar dictum, but somehow it keeps getting forgotten along the way. No film-maker, irrespective of his electronic bag of tricks, can ever afford to forget his commitment to the written word.
Steven Spielberg
Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won't know each other unless they bring friends along.
Steven Spielberg
History is so fleeting and we are so busy consuming media and the contemporary culture, voraciously gobbling it up, that we have no room to look back ever, and our young people have a tough time looking back.
Steven Spielberg
I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.
Steven Spielberg
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.
Steven Spielberg
The Internet has been this miraculous conduit to the undeniable truth to the Holocaust.
Steven Spielberg
Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips.
Steven Spielberg
The bones of the story of 'War Horse' is a love story. That's what makes it universal.
