More quotes by 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.
Steven Spielberg
In '83, not only was there no such thing as performance motion capture technology, there was no such thing as digital animation. This was the analog era.
Steven Spielberg
I like that the best about DVD: how small it is.
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
I'm very collaborative with everybody on the set.
Steven Spielberg
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
I wouldn't have filmed The Color Purple if the book had been a big fat novel. The reason I read it is because it is thin.
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
I had to get over my fear of running through the world naked and learn to say 'take me or leave me.'
Steven Spielberg
Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.
Steven Spielberg
Science fiction really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
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
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
In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
Steven Spielberg
I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I'll never make enough films to purge them all.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
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
I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. 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
I've been shooting movies and television shows for now 47 years and I've worked with the best of them and [Kirk Douglas] is the only movie star I ever met.
Steven Spielberg
The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
