George Lucas's quotes

A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.
The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.
The script is what you've dreamed up-this is what it should be. The film is what you end up with.
I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God's bidding.
The object is to try to get the (movie) system to work for you, instead of against you. And the only way you can do it is through success, I'm afraid.
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
[describing Luke Skywalker after his duel with Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)] He is his own man, he is not a son anymore, he is an equal.
I wanted to make abstract films that are emotional, and I still do.
It's hard work making movies. It's like being a doctor:you work long hours, very hard hours, and it's emotional, tense work. If you don't really love it, then it ain't worth it.
From being a struggling, starving filmmaker to being incredibly successful in a period of a couple of years is quite a powerful experience, and not necessarily a good one.
I've had a very volatile relationship with Francis (Francis Ford Coppola). It's on both sides, like we were married and we got divorced. It's as close a relationship as I've had with anybody.
If you can tune into the fantasy life of an 11-year-old girl, you can make a fortune in this business.
[regarding Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)] Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they don't have to see it.
I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them.
[on Gangs of New York (2002)] We showed a print of it at the Skywalker Ranch. I was amazed by what he (Scorsese) did with it and where he went. It was terrific.
The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable.
[about making art films that he admits no one will want to see] I've worked hard enough and earned enough to fail for the rest of my life. And I'm gonna do it!!
[when asked what it was like to watch Steven Spielberg direct] It's like watching Albert Einstein or Thomas A. Edison. It's like watching Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods, any genius you can name.
Part of the reason I went back to tell the prequel, of how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, is that it's an interesting story and a fun one to tell. Because it is the story of how a good person turns bad.
Yeah, I have a few dollars, but when you're getting up to the point where the average movie costs $80 million, anything under $20 million is pretty cheap. Anything under $10 million is almost impossible. And anything under $5 million is Roger Corman.
None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) (aka Indiana Jones). Nobody in their right mind thought American Graffiti (1973) or Star Wars (1977) would work.
Honestly, everyone feels you have to talk about yourself all the time. They say I'm introverted because I don't give many interviews. But I don't give many interviews because I don't make many films.
[on the influence of Star Wars on Hollywood films] People say my movies are just like Hollywood movies. And I say, "I can't help it if Hollywood copies."
My greatest regret in my career is that John [John Landis] was unable to direct Howard the Duck (1986). I feel the movie would have been far more successful and saved me the years of hardship following its release.
People think of me as a sort of pathological, Howard Hughes-type guy sitting in a hotel room, which is definitely not so.
[on Akira Kurosawa] Kurosawa was one of film's true greats. His ability to transform a vision into a powerful work of art is unparalleled.
I hate corporations and I'm not happy that they have taken over the film business but on the same hand I find myself being the head of a corporation. There's a certain irony there.
I can't even begin to tell you how much of an influence Disney has had on me.
Phantom Menace is so popular you know it's people liking it and going back to see it again. For some it's like the Meaning of Life.
I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.
Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer.
It was the money from Star Wars (1977) and Jaws (1975) that allowed the theaters to build their multiplexes, which allowed an opening up of screens.
If you look at Blade Runner (1982), it's been cut sixteen ways from Sunday, and there are all kinds of different versions of it.
As a Western, The Magnificent Seven (1960) was a pretty good film. I don't think it was as interesting or as multi-faceted as Seven Samurai (1954).
Don't forget the basics. Don't get enamored with new technology, because it's not new. Just the medium we're working in is new, but that doesn't change anything. The art of what we do is exactly the same. It's beyond technology. It's the art of movies.
[describing scenes in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)] Again it's like poetry, it's sort of -- they rhyme. Every stanza kind of rhymes with the last one. Hopefully it'll work.
