My filmmaking really began with technology. It began through technology, not through telling stories, because my 8mm movie camera was the way into whatever I decided to do.

More quotes by Steven Spielberg
The person I enjoy working for more than anyone else is George Lucas. He's the best boss I ever had because he's the most talented boss I ever had.
Steven Spielberg
I turned down 'Harry Potter' and 'Spider-Man,' two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don't need my ego to be reminded.
Steven Spielberg
I simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.
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.
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 think the secret of great acting is that you have to bring your imagination to the party. You have to have a great imagination and you have to bring it every day when you're working. Your imagination and your skills as an actor are what see you through, not what you're wearing or where you are.
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
Audrey gave more than she ever got. The whole world is going to miss her.
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
I feel there is no substitute for going out to the movies. There is nothing like it.
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
I made 'Empire of the Sun' in Shanghai in the 1980s and want to come back one day to make a movie in China.
Steven Spielberg
[The way Stanley Kubrick] tells a story is antithetical to the way we are accustomed to receiving stories.
Steven Spielberg
You can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.
Steven Spielberg
Godzilla was the most masterful of all dinosaur movies because it made you believe it was really happening.
Steven Spielberg
The making of the movie and the routine of making the movie is a lot like being in a Spanish prison for five years on a marijuana breakdown.
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
You never really know how good of a leader you are until there is something there is lead us to, toward or through or to overcome.
Steven Spielberg
I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
