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.

More quotes by Steven Spielberg
Lincoln's leadership is based on a number of precepts, but my favorite one is that he acted in the name, and for the good, of the people.
Steven Spielberg
I'm not really interested in making money.
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
You look at war as something that is putting your best friend in jeopardy. You are responsible for the person in front of you and the person behind you, and the person to the left of you and the person to the right of you.
Steven Spielberg
I've always been interested in UFOs.
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.
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 had to get over my fear of running through the world naked and learn to say 'take me or leave me.'
Steven Spielberg
There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.
Steven Spielberg
I've always been interested in how we survive and how resourceful we are as Americans.
Steven Spielberg
I have always admired him (Bergman), and I wish I could be an equally good filmmaker as he is, but it will never happen. His love for the cinema almost gives me a guilty conscience
Steven Spielberg
In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
Steven Spielberg
I see some parallels between then [Lincoln's era] and now. Certainly the division of ideologies between two parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In 1865, the Democrats were the Conservatives and the Republicans were the progressives, and today it's just the opposite.
Steven Spielberg
All good ideas start out as bad ideas, that's why it takes so long.
Steven Spielberg
Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.
Steven Spielberg
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 love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.
Steven Spielberg
I'm very used to working with first time actors - you can just look back at 'E.T.' with Drew Barrymore, and Christian Bale from 'Empire of the Sun,' who'd never made a movie before.
Steven Spielberg
Well, luckily with animation, fantasy is your friend.
Steven Spielberg
I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.
