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.

Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips.
Steven Spielberg
I was fifteen, or sixteen. I was in high school. I was spending a summer in California with my second cousins. And I wanted to be a director really bad. I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.

Steven Spielberg
The only movie that I would ever even consider retrofitting is the first ‘Jurassic Park,’ which I think would look pretty spectacular in 3D. That’s the only one of my films that I would consider doing in 3D.
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 quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
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
For one thing, I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.
Steven Spielberg
He never gave up. And he does that for us
Steven Spielberg
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.
Steven Spielberg
Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.
