I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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.

It [Lincoln movie] had nothing to do with politics. It had nothing to do with holding a mirror up to the way we conduct our business on Capitol Hill. This was meant to be a story, a Lincoln portrait if you will. I think any time is the right time for a very compelling story, any time.

I think that the perceived downs in my own career come from just managing my time and not feeling that I have enough time for my family or my friends. You could put that in the personal life category but it's all one category because I've got to balance my family.

Image
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
Image
If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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.

Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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
Image
I'd rather direct than produce. Any day. And twice on Sunday.

Image
I dream for a living.

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.
