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
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'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.
Steven Spielberg
The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.
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
All presidents swear an oath to the Constitution to keep this country united, and when the country fell apart, Lincoln had to put it back together again, with a lot of help. But he bore total responsibility.
Steven Spielberg
Movies are always in a state of locomotion. You start with a general idea of how it should feel and then you find you've got a runaway train. You have to race to catch up: the movie is telling you what it wants to become, and when that happens there's no greater feeling.
Steven Spielberg
I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important.
Steven Spielberg
[The way Stanley Kubrick] tells a story is antithetical to the way we are accustomed to receiving stories.
Steven Spielberg
I think the greatest thing about DVD is the quality of sound and picture the real estate to put more extras on and, my favorite point is it stores quietly in very subtle places in your home .
Steven Spielberg
I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.
Steven Spielberg
I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.
Steven Spielberg
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
Steven Spielberg
From a very young age, my parents taught me the most important lesson of my whole life: They taught me how to listen. They taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge - and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.
Steven Spielberg
I've learned there are a lot of people that don't want to believe the Holocaust ever happened because it doesn't fit their other beliefs and so they deny it and it makes them sleep better at night to do so. But it makes the Holocaust survivors sleep better at night to know that we've given them a voice.
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
It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.
Steven Spielberg
I'm certainly hoping that 3D gets to the point where people do not notice it because once they stop noticing it, it just becomes another tool and an aid to help tell a story.
Steven Spielberg
Because television doesn't offer the kind of budget that a movie offers, you've got to be a little more careful where you spend the money to put the fiction in science.
Steven Spielberg
I've always been very hopeful which I guess isn't strange coming from me. I don't want to call myself an optimist. I want to say that I've always been full of hope. I've never lost that. I have a lot of hope for this country and for the entire world. . .
