Steven Quotations

The influence of Steven Spielberg to my career is unquantifiable. Every day on the set with him is a master class in filmmaking.

I worked with Steven Spielberg on 'AI,' and his level of preparation was extraordinary. He told me there was a time at the beginning when he was a bit more spontaneous and went over budget, and it absolutely wrecked his head. When you look at the power and assuredness of his movies, it makes sense that he works out so much in advance.

That said, I should also add that I learned a great deal from being allowed in these privileged circles and am grateful for the opportunity to have worked closely with some of the most powerful and successful people in the business including Steven Spielberg and Ted Turner.

Trying to take the credit for Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, who had been at the club since they were eight. Can you believe it? I can't.

Well, to tell you the straight honest truth, it was like a Grateful Dead cover band. I didn't feel - and nothing against the guys - I didn't feel that they were opening up like they should. I'll tell you what, with guitar players, Steven has what I like in guitar players.

I would love to see Steven Spielberg working. I just think he's the greatest living director.

The thing with Stephen King is that everyone dies, and everyone comes back to life. So you never know with his mind where things go. It's the same with Steven Spielberg, too.

I play a character called Lieutenant Delcourt who, in the original comics, pops up from time to time to rescue Tintin. I guess if you've grown up watching movies like 'Jaws' and 'Indiana Jones,' it's pretty surreal to find yourself on set with Steven Spielberg directing you.

I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said.

What always made me proud - almost blushing with pride - is that Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg all told me that 'The Conformist' is their first modern influence.

I had done a couple of auditions for 'Amistad' and didn't feel it was going to go any further - and then the call came about heading to Los Angeles to work with Steven Spielberg. It was surreal: exciting, challenging, overwhelming.

I would still work with Mel Gibson! He's talented, man! Come on, he came up with 'Apocalypto,' man! I want to work with this guy. I've worked with Steven Seagal. He's out of his mind. I mean, I've worked with Spike Lee for four films. I've worked with some people that you can say are right there teetering between genius and madness.

I've gotten my butt kicked by the best. Jet Li beat me up the best, but Steven Segal can still kick a good butt. It's a different kind of kicking, though.

Steven and I have worked together a lot and I'm far ahead of the curve than most people in knowing what he wants, but he knows far more than I know about what's important for the story. So, most of the changes he will make will involve story changes.

I think there was a petition online to get me involved in 'Doctor Who.' I'm not a 'Doctor Who' fanatic, but I am a Steven Moffat fanatic.

Meeting Oprah Winfrey, I cried like a baby. Meeting Steven Spielberg, I cried like a baby. Meeting Denzel Washington, I gushed like a crazy woman. If I don't get excited or star struck by someone I've been dying to meet, it's time to retire.

'Out of Sight' is one of my favorite films ever. Love Steven Soderbergh. 'Goodfellas' was a huge influence on me in terms of the use of camera. 'Black Orpheus,' a beautiful love story that very few people actually have seen, and that was an influence on 'Beyond the Lights,' too, in terms of the look of the film.

Working with David Cronenberg or Darren Aronofsky or even Steven Soderbergh isn't really like a typical Hollywood movie. These are true artists, and have a certain amount of freedom when they work, and they're more like independent filmmakers making their way through big studios.

Stephen Hawking's been watching too many Hollywood movies. I think the only kind aliens in Hollywood are the ones created by Steven Spielberg - 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.,' for example. All other aliens are trying to suck our brains out.

Steven Adler and I played football in the street when we were 12. I remember rehearsing in my bedroom with my first band, and some kid climbed over the fence of my backyard and peeked his head in the window to see who was rocking. It was Slash.

I'd love to do another 'Indiana Jones.' A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director - what's not to like?

I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.

I would rather have Steven available for the next month rather than just 80 minutes of this match.

No doubt, I'm sure, the senior executives at Microsoft were pretty upset (with the latest Vista delay). Steven has a track record of shipping products (and he can) potentially take the reins and get the thing out the door and fix whatever process problems there are.

One evening, Mike Myers and Steven Spielberg were discussing 'Goldmember,' and I just happened to joke, 'If you need a Japanese character, let me know!' The next day, they called me for audition! I find it's always helpful to maintain a sense of humour.

My dad couldn't connect to my wanting to be a filmmaker. He was very connected in entertainment, and through him I met Steven Spielberg and got rides on his private plane to California. I'd see Spielberg's people reading scripts. I was like, 'That's what I want to be when I grow up.'

Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg are men at the top of their game, and Jackson especially is going to change the nature of film-making.

I got recognized around the pool the other night. They were filming a party for the E! channel. It was really distressing because there were all these wanna-be celebrities. I was trying to get out of there before the Steven Seagal look-alike shook my hand, and I thought, 'Please, God, tell me I'm not of this world'.

I don't have much to do with it, ... Cam just places himself where he wants to go. We put him in the forward line and he was getting the ball all over the ground. He was second ruck to Steven today and they carried the ruck duties fairly well. I'm happy with his form.

There are only a few bumps and bruises now, ... I am optimistic Barry will play and there is no problem with Steven Pressley.

There are only a few bumps and bruises now. I am optimistic Barry will play and there is no problem with Steven Pressley.

McNaughton is a handful. Steven is going to have to make him earn everything. He's going to have to do a good job of making him work to get his points.

She had to sell her house because Steven had helped her make her rent payments and now he isn't here to help. She needs to be able to survive. So I thought, why don't we release the footage?

She ran into a trap but when Steven pulled her out she was good enough to pick them up under hands and heels riding.

Whenever you see young actors describing horrific crimes or acting out certain sexual situations, you have to wonder what kind of images are put into their heads, ... I saw Dakota Fanning talking about the tactics Steven Spielberg used to make her cry. I think that kind of thing will have a negative effect in the long run.

Lt. Steven Hauk: Sir, in my heart, I know I'm funny.

On any given day one of those three are going to be second. I was real pleased the way Charles Myers ran right with them today. Tim Smith was there too. I hate losing those seniors, but next year we'll have Tim Smith and freshman Steven Reynolds.

I feel that I will be more of a feature director, and I will go away completely from videos. I want to do features and have written several of them. I'm looking to be more like a Steven Spielberg.

He represents the American tradition of excellence and honesty and integrity. In a sense, he was the Steven Spielberg of his time.

I look for our freshmen to contribute a lot in the relays. We also need them to get into the finals in their respective events, to knock other people out of position to score. Some of the younger athletes, like Lauren Scott , Steven Bach and Terrell Thompson , have the ability to do that. At the Big Ten meet, I tell all of our athletes to focus on beating bodies, not on jumping a certain distance or running a certain time. If you focus on beating people, those things will come.

I admire Steven and Kim very much. They have turned their pain into something encouraging.

If Steven Spielberg brought me a movie four hours long and said, 'It has to go out this way,' I guarantee you that's the way it would go out.

He is a talented young midfielder with great potential. To date injury and illness hasn't allowed Steven to achieve what we think he can, but we are looking forward to his progression over the coming years,

I'm a huge fan of 'Buffy,' 'Angel' and 'Doctor Who.' People like Joss Whedon, Russell T. Davies, and Steven Moffat are really amazing about making you feel like you had a complete meal and yet leaving you hungry for more.

I'm a massive Steven Seagal fan. I know his movies are horrible, but I've watched all of them over and over again. I'd want to do a movie with him and Van Damme.

His sister picked up a lot of the slack for care of his mom. His nephew, Daniel Miller, helped keep an eye on the farm. Steven and Nicholas helped with feeding and caring for the dogs.

He felt that if he tried to run away, Steven would have gotten him and it would have been him killed.

There is no greater storyteller than Steven Spielberg, ... In addition to his gift for pleasing movie audiences, he has an innate understanding of games and how to immerse players into a fantastic world of action and characters.

He is a handful. Chris has played very well in most of their big games. I feel in some ways that I've got one of the best defensive centers in the country in my team in Steven Hill. I know Chris is going to be hard to stop, but he's going to face a kid that relishes defense, relishes shot blocking, relishes shutting somebody down. And if he (Chris) does well, it's going to be because he earned it.

Steve is our best post-position defender. We would have liked to have him in there all the time and hopefully limit the things Steven Smith does.

Steven always guards the other team's best front-court player. He relishes that role. But he's got to defend without getting in foul trouble.

Steven Bochco has had the biggest hits of the '70s, '80s and '90s. And we hope with 'City of Angels,' it's the biggest hit of the new millennium.

Steven did a great job working out of jams by keeping the ball down. I can't say enough about his effort.

Steven fell awkwardly and tweaked his back. He had a sharp pain.

Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good.

Steven has a humorous side to him that you wouldn't expect. I see more of it this season. Life is more normal for him in some ways. He's opening up slowly.

Steven has done exceptionally well but we keep saying there are parts of his game he needs to keep working on.

Steven has had a really good spring. From Day 1, even when we were out there in shorts, his demeanor was what you want in a football player. He has worked extremely hard and has continued to improve every week and every practice.

Steven has taken advantage of the opportunity, and that's what this game is about.

Steven Hunter's athleticism, shot blocking and rebounding ability give us an added dimension to address the need in the middle,

Steven is a fierce athlete. He has the speed and lateral quickness to continue to be an aggressive, physical defenseman at the collegiate level.

Steven is extremely committed to DreamWorks, ... He doesn't want it to go away.

Steven is our top thrower. He did well and started his year off well. He's one of our leaders.

Steven is such an asset to this orchestra. Because he and I view so many aspects of music-making the same, it makes it easy for us. When I'm asking for a particular sound, he knows what I mean and he's able to communicate it technically to the string players. Steven has really helped me tremendously in our effort to make the Tucson Symphony strings sound like a major orchestra.

Steven just kind of built a wall in there.

Steven plays a big role for us inside. His defense is great and he takes up a lot of space when he blocks out so that it helps everyone on our team rebound. And he's got great timing for blocking shots.

Steven Ross has concurred that this plan will meet the Office of Human Rights' concern and will disperse the (English as a Second Language) population across the district.

Steven's A-list credibility has made the community take us more seriously, has accelerated the process and brought it into the open. Steven will help. Writing checks for 'Enron' will help.

Steven Spielberg and I now have a script in hand that we both like. I believe that we can start with the filming soon.

Steven Spielberg could not have put together a film as dramatic as this. To see people wading in poisonous water, coming into the downtown area with families, asking 'Where do we go? Where are the police?,' and people sleeping on highway rampsno one expected that.

Steven Spielberg is one of the most creative and successful directors and producers in the history of filmmaking. I have the highest respect both for him and for DreamWorks, and I look forward to many more years of continued collaboration.

Steven Spielberg's a huge influence on a lot of people, and Schindler's List still looks like a great movie.

Steven was like, 'Well, I've got some movies that might make sense if you guys are willing to do this. 'Well, yeah, let's sit down and figure out how we can do this.' If Todd and Mark say it, it's one thing. If Steven says it, too, it adds a whole new credibility level.

Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them.

Steven will feed anybody. It's whether they want to go to it and finish it that makes the difference.

Steven will get in after the first two series depending on how things are going.

Steven will relish the bit of extra responsibility.

Steven would learn far more from sitting in a tea house or going to art galleries than someone interviewing the prime minister.

People need to be responsible for the adults that are in their care and custody. Steven clearly did not provide for the welfare of his own father.

I saw 'War Of The Worlds' and I thought Steven Spielberg is a man who makes brilliant scenes but can't make a movie any more.

I saw War Of The Worlds and I thought Steven Spielberg is a man who makes brilliant scenes but can't make a movie any more.

I wrote a script, Steven loved it, wanted to shoot it this year. George didn't love it, it got sort of lost between two conflicting opinions and now I think they're trying to figure out what, if anything, to do from here,

I think Steven Spielberg has first movies! Martin Scorsese has first movies. I don't just jump into something. I like the whole audition process.

My novella, 'The Lucky One,' is inspired in part by my dad and also by a Holocaust survivor I interviewed for the Steven Spielberg Survivors of the Shoah Foundation.

'Jurassic' is a legacy and a classic. Steven Spielberg created something pretty spectacular. It's actually really interesting, when I look at it, I ask, 'How has my life changed since being Lex?' And I can literally walk into just about any city in the world and people will know who I am.

I stole a ton of film language from Steven Soderbergh and 'The Limey.' It's the definition of elliptical. It was the first movie I remember that introduced me to storytelling that isn't just one scene after another, and that things can be mixed up in the way that real experiences can.

It definitely is a different animal, but they do have a good running game with Steven Jackson. But I am pretty sure we'll be able to do some different stuff.

I suppose Steven Bradbury is the only one left standing. You would have to assume he'll get it.

I thought it would be interesting to hear a conversation between filmmakers instead of just a filmmaker gassing on about his own movie. Steven is so literate about this stuff and a great film journalist in his own right and a good friend, so it worked out. He also loved the movie and volunteered to do it.

I think that in a sense you just have to be honest with yourself and what you can and can't do and understand what you want to get out of this game and what you want to do. And I want to win. My personal accomplishments aren't as important to me; winning is. I think the combination of myself and Steven gives us, as a team, a better opportunity to win. With the work that he's going to put in, he deserves to be the starter.

It is hard to say whether Steven would have picked up his injury if he hadn't played so many games, you just don't know.

I think it's much more likely that he will do an Indy movie before he does Lincoln . The Lincoln script is not as far in the development stage and...frankly, Steven may not want to do another serious movie after doing a Munich .

Out of the 20 or so guys who'll show up at our booth, maybe two could be the next Steven Spielberg .

I tell Steven all of the time that I want his head in the carburetor,

It is only a possibility that Steven can play.

I think it says a lot about him being unselfish and seeing the talent in Steven himself.

I thought Steven was a little empty. He was at 106 pitches and Frost was getting good swings off of him. Steven was getting a little tired and we had all the faith in Rich to get the job done.

I thought Steven was tremendous against Ross County on Saturday without getting a break and knew that if he got one he would go on a run.

We have a lot of confidence anytime Steven is on the mound for us. He did a great job for us today.

With the way Steven Dodson is throwing, we're just trying to get to the fifth inning with the lead. For whatever reason, he's taken to that role and run with it.
