I love history. It was the only thing I did well at in school. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was not a good student but I was great at history.

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.

One of the gratuities about being a director is that you can volunteer yourself out of difficult details.

Even if I'd had a really happy relationship with my father and there was no emotional hiatus for a decade and a half, I probably would still have made some of the same choices for movies that I've made.

In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.

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

My head's not in the clouds, but I think I've gotten too much credit for being an astute businessman.
Steven Spielberg

I guess my first digital movie was 'Tintin' because 'Tintin' has no film step. There is no intermediate film step. It's 100% digital animation, but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film.

Well, luckily with animation, fantasy is your friend.

The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck.

From a very young age, my parents taught me the most important lesson of my whole life: They taught me how to listen. They taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge - and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.

I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.

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.

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.

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.

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.
