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.

More quotes by Steven Spielberg
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
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
Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as 'The Pacific'.
Steven Spielberg
I guess my first digital movie was 'Tintin' because 'Tintin' has no film step. There is no intermediate film step. It's 100% digital animation, but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film.
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 have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.
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
I once said that CGI makes you less inventive. At the time I was bemoaning the loss of the practical stunt. If a stunt can be done practically and safely, I'd rather do it old-style.
Steven Spielberg
'E.T.' began with me trying to write a story about my parents' divorce.
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
When I don't have a story to tell, I'm a terror to live with.
Steven Spielberg
I feel like Ive been engaged to the British Empire since 1980 and tonight you have given me the ring knighthood.
Steven Spielberg
Science fiction really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations.
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
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
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
Lincoln believed in the American people.
Steven Spielberg
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
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
All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
