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.

More quotes by 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
My movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence [...] I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.
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
All through my career I've done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start.
Steven Spielberg
I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.
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
When I grow up, I still want to be a director.
Steven Spielberg
I like that the best about DVD: how small it is.
Steven Spielberg
I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.
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
'E.T.' began with me trying to write a story about my parents' divorce.
Steven Spielberg
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.
Steven Spielberg
I love Rambo but I think it's potentially a very dangerous movie. It changes history in a frightening way.
Steven Spielberg
I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.
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
Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
Steven Spielberg
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.
