More quotes by Steven Spielberg
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
Steven Spielberg
When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.
Steven Spielberg
Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.
Steven Spielberg
It is not my job to compare my movies. I don't like to compare my films with other movies because I don't really have that perspective. It is an intellectual exercise, but it doesn't intuitively come to me.
Steven Spielberg
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
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'd rather direct than produce. Any day. And twice on Sunday.
Steven Spielberg
My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.
Steven Spielberg
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.
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
Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry.
Steven Spielberg
Whatever affect any of my films have on audiences, I just kind of stop at the door. I make them and I just don't go outside after they're over.
Steven Spielberg
I'd love to build a company that will continue to make movies well beyond me someday. And I'd like to help start something great, even investing in it myself.
Steven Spielberg
You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!
Steven Spielberg
Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.
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
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. . .
Steven Spielberg
There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.
Steven Spielberg
When I don't have a story to tell, I'm a terror to live with.
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
