George Lucas Quotes

I thought it [Star Wars] was too wacky for the general public. 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 Picture Quote #1

But George Lucas is carrying about Black actors, about Black men, about Black history, which really incorporates and tells all of history. You can’t take one race out without eliminating every other race if you’re going to tell the story of the human race Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the era, ‘Don’t trust anybody over 30.’ And, you know, I still feel that. Don’t trust me Picture Quote #1

Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious Picture Quote #1

Digital also had this evolution that came out of post-production. And George Lucas did it because he wanted to make a big movie with special effects. Sort of the opposite of what you’d think is an indie film. So it’s coming from both these angles Picture Quote #1

I haven’t met anybody who hasn’t been able to describe years and years and years of very, very difficult struggle through the whole process of achieving anything whatsoever. And there’s no way to sort of get around that Picture Quote #1

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I came from a very avant-garde documentary kind of film making world. I like cinema veritÃƒÂ©, documentaries. I liked non-story, non-character tone poems. And that’s the film making that I was interested in Picture Quote #1

I wanted to race cars. I didn’t like school, and all I wanted to do was work on cars. But right before I graduated, I got into a really bad car accident, and I spent that summer in the hospital thinking about where I was heading. I decided to take education more seriously and go to a community college Picture Quote #1

If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there’s a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’d like to see education play a larger role in our daily lives, have people come to a larger understanding - a bigger picture understanding - of how we fit into the world, and how we fit into the universe. Not necessarily thinking of ourselves, but thinking of others Picture Quote #1

I’m lucky enough that there is never a blank canvas in front of me... I have hundreds of projects that I want to do but I am running out of time Picture Quote #1

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don’t have that kind of feeling for what it is you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle Picture Quote #1

There wasn’t much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things Picture Quote #1

A lot of people like to do certain things, but they’re not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything Picture Quote #1

You need to have a lot of close family around you, a lot of friends to keep you honest. Take your time, take a year and just slow everything down a little bit. Get away from the success part, stay with yourself. Go off on a beach somewhere or do something to keep yourself aligned right Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been that much of a money guy. I’m more of a film guy, and most of the money I’ve made is in defense of trying to keep creative control of my movies Picture Quote #1

In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be ?replaced? by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten Picture Quote #1

That’s the issue that I’ve been exploring: How did the Republic turn into the Empire? That’s paralleled with: How did Anakin turn into Darth Vader? How does a good person go bad, and how does a democracy become a dictatorship? It isn’t that the Empire conquered the Republic, it’s that the Empire is the Republic Picture Quote #1

Film is not an easy occupation. There’s a lot of occupations that are difficult and film is one of them Picture Quote #1

Success is a very difficult thing. It’s much more difficult than one might think Picture Quote #1

Digital technology is the same revolution as adding sound to pictures and the same revolution as adding color to pictures. Nothing more and nothing less Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the most significant thing George Lucas did in creating ‘Star Wars’ was to fictionalize the Tao - to spark a universe where we can talk about the Force in objective terms and show it in direct action Picture Quote #1
