More quotes by Steven Spielberg

Image
I usually do about five cuts as a director. I haven't ever directed a film where I haven't made five passes through the movie, and that takes a long time.
Steven Spielberg
Image
You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change you change.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I have always admired him (Bergman), and I wish I could be an equally good filmmaker as he is, but it will never happen. His love for the cinema almost gives me a guilty conscience
Steven Spielberg
Image
I interviewed survivors, I went to Poland, saw the cities and spent time with the people and spoke to the Jews who had come back to Poland after the war and talked about why they had come back.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I'd rather direct than produce. Any day. And twice on Sunday.

Image
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
Image
I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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
Image
I see some parallels between then [Lincoln's era] and now. Certainly the division of ideologies between two parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In 1865, the Democrats were the Conservatives and the Republicans were the progressives, and today it's just the opposite.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
Steven Spielberg
Image
Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I think every movie I've made after 'Indiana Jones,' I've tried to make every single movie as if it was made by a different director, because I'm very conscious of not wanting to impose a consistent style on subject matter that is not necessarily suited to that style. So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject.
Steven Spielberg
Image
[The way Stanley Kubrick] tells a story is antithetical to the way we are accustomed to receiving stories.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I don't make unconventional stories I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.
Steven Spielberg
Image
Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

Desperate times require desperate measures. What Lincoln and the Lobbyist for the Amendment and the Manager of the Amendment and himself, what they did to get this passed was not illegal. It was murky, but what they did was noble and grand. How they went about it was somewhat murky. Nothing they did was really illegal.

This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.

I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids.
