Quote

There is something that you have that no one else ever had ... When you watch Kirk's [Douglas] performance in anything, in anything he's ever done, you cannot take your eyes off of him. It's not possible to look away from him.

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.
Steven Spielberg
Image
Social media has taken over in America to such an extreme that to get my own kids to look back a week in their history is a miracle, let alone 100 years.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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
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.

Fathering is a major job, but I need both things in my life: my job to be a director, and my kids to direct me.
Steven Spielberg
Image
I think we need to take responsibility for the things we put on this planet, and also take responsibility for the things we take off the planet. We need to have limiters on how far we allow ourselves to go - ethical, moral limiters.

You look at war as something that is putting your best friend in jeopardy. You are responsible for the person in front of you and the person behind you, and the person to the left of you and the person to the right of you.

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
Image
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
Image
Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.
Steven Spielberg
Image
So I try to re-invent my own eye every time I tackle a new subject. But it's hard, because everybody has style. You can't help it.
Steven Spielberg
Image
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
Image
Because television doesn't offer the kind of budget that a movie offers, you've got to be a little more careful where you spend the money to put the fiction in science.
Steven Spielberg
Image
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.

Image
I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
Steven Spielberg

[The way Stanley Kubrick] tells a story is antithetical to the way we are accustomed to receiving stories.

In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.
