Whenever you’re making a movie, especially when you’re writing, you always have self-doubts.

You can be as rich, and famous, and powerful as you want to be, and it will not bring you happiness. That’s said over and over and over, again. It’s such a cliché that it hardly needs to be said, but people don’t understand that it’s actually true.

You may make something you don’t think is very important during your lifetime and it’ll last for a thousand years.

A film is sort of binary – it either works or it doesn’t work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.

A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.

A talent is a combination of something you love a great deal and something you can lose yourself in – something that you can start at 9 o’clock, look up from your work and it’s 10 o’clock at night.

After you’ve done the first feature, then you have heck of a difficult time getting your second film off the ground. They look at your first film and they say, ‘Oh well, we don’t want you anymore.’

All art is dependent on technology because it’s a human endeavour, so even when you’re using charcoal on a wall or designed the proscenium arch, that’s technology.

Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other.

George Lucas

As a group, we are stronger than we are as individuals. We start to think we want everything for ourselves and we don’t want to help anybody else. We want to succeed, but we don’t want anybody else to succeed, because we want to be the winner.
