Steven Spielberg Way Quotations

My filmmaking really began with technology. It began through technology, not through telling stories, because my 8mm movie camera was the way into whatever I decided to do.

If the world ran the way a crew runs a set, we'd have a better, more progressive world.

I think producers are more interested in backing concepts than directors and writers. I don't think that's the right way of making a decision about whether you're going to back a film or not.

I love Rambo but I think it's potentially a very dangerous movie. It changes history in a frightening way.

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

It starts with the writer-it's a familiar dictum, but somehow it keeps getting forgotten along the way. No film-maker, irrespective of his electronic bag of tricks, can ever afford to forget his commitment to the written word.

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.
