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.

Science fiction really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
Steven Spielberg
I feel there is no substitute for going out to the movies. There is nothing like it.
Steven Spielberg
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.
Steven Spielberg
I did 50 takes on Robert Shaw assembling the Greener Gun on 'Jaws.' The shark wasn't working, so I just kept shooting to make the production report look like we were accomplishing something and to keep cast and crew from going crazy from boredom. It was a strategic indulgence.
Steven Spielberg
Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.

Steven Spielberg
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
Steven Spielberg
The older I get, the more I look at movies as a moving miracle.
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
I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
Steven Spielberg
I am a very impatient director.
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
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
I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I'll never make enough films to purge them all.
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
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
I'm not really interested in making money.
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 want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.
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
