Steven Spielberg

I'm not a political filmmaker. I'm a filmmaker who makes political films.

I've always been drawn to stories about outsiders.

I never thought I'd be a director. I thought I'd be a writer.

I think the best stories are the ones that make you feel something.

I'm a big believer in collaboration. I think it's essential to filmmaking.

I'm not afraid of failure. I'm afraid of not trying.

I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect movie.

I'm a big believer in the power of imagination.

I've always been a fan of science fiction. I love the idea of exploring the unknown.

I think movies are a great way to escape reality.

I'm a storyteller. That's what I do. I tell stories.

I woke up so early today I saw the sunrise. It looked like a scene from 'Close Encounters'—except with more caffeine.

I’ve never attended a comic book convention. I’m afraid I’d get trampled by a pack of angry Trekkies.

If I made a movie about my childhood, the villain would be a bicycle with no brakes.

I once tried to film a ghost. Turns out, ghosts don’t sign release forms.

The hardest part of directing dinosaurs is getting them to cry on cue.

I don't think I've ever made a film that I haven't been in love with, even if it's been a disaster.

I'm not a big fan of the word 'masterpiece.' I think it's a word that should be reserved for the work of others.

I'm still a kid. I'm just a big kid with a lot of money.

I think the one thing that I've learned in life is that you can't please everybody. So you might as well please yourself.
