More quotes by Steven Spielberg
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
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 don't make unconventional stories I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.
Steven Spielberg
The turning point in my career was Jaws. It was a turning point because I was a director-for-hire before Jaws and because it was such a big hit I could do any movie I wanted and Hollywood just wrote me a cheque.
Steven Spielberg
I love history. It was the only thing I did well at in school. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was not a good student but I was great at history.
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've just always had a personal fascination with the myth of Abraham Lincoln. And once you start to read about him and the Civil War and everything leading up to the Civil War, you start to understand that the myth is created when we think we understand a character and we reduce him to a kind of cultural national stereotype.
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
There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
Steven Spielberg
Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry.
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
My dad took me out to see a meteor shower when I was a little kid, and it was scary for me because he woke me up in the middle of the night. My heart was beating I didn't know what he wanted to do. He wouldn't tell me, and he put me in the car and we went off, and I saw all these people lying on blankets, looking up at the sky.
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 very collaborative with everybody on the set.
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
I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.
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
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 still have pretty much the same fears I had as a kid. I'm not sure I'd want to give them up a lot of these insecurities fuel the movies I make.
Steven Spielberg
In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
Steven Spielberg
