More quotes by 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 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
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
I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.
Steven Spielberg
I'd rather direct than produce. Any day. And twice on Sunday.
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 just think that the qualities of leadership are unknown even to the leader until he's tested and given a challenge.
Steven Spielberg
If Bush, as I believe, has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction, I cannot not support the policies of his government.
Steven Spielberg
My movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence [...] I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.
Steven Spielberg
The Internet has been this miraculous conduit to the undeniable truth to the Holocaust.
Steven Spielberg
You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!
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
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.
Steven Spielberg
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.
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
Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as 'The Pacific'.
Steven Spielberg
There were so many odd, strange things about Abraham Lincoln that I think nobody knew how to pigeonhole him.
Steven Spielberg
It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.
Steven Spielberg
I don't make unconventional stories I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.
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
