Happy Birthday Steven Spielberg!

Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.

Selbstverstümmelung ist der einzige Weg zur Erleuchtung!
 

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.

Kino ist ein Vorwand, sein eigenes Leben ein paar Stunden lang zu verlassen.
 

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
 

Der Zweite Weltkrieg ist vermutlich das wichtigste Ereignis dieses Jahrhunderts, weil sein Ausgang darüber entschieden hat, wie die Welt sich entwickelt, ob sie überhaupt das 21. Jahrhundert erreicht.
 

The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences. Now, through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.
 

Das schöne an Kindern ist, das sie in ihrer eigenen Fantasiewelt leben und nicht von der Gesellschaft korrumpiert worden sind. Sie haben noch keine Grenzen in ihrem Denken und sind frei, bevor es ihnen in der Schule durch strukturiertes Lernen genommen wird.
 

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.
 

Jeder Krieg ist obszön.

There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
 

Was gestern war, interessiert Amerika nicht. Wir stürzen uns kopfüber in die Zukunft und schauen nie zurück.
 

I dream for a living.
 

Das Kino ist der Ausdruck unserer Träume. Genau das ist das Kino: die Möglichkeit, unsere Träume zu übersetzen.
 

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.
 

Ich verdiene meinen Lebensunterhalt mit Träumen.
 

I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
 

Meine besten Filme kommen noch.
 

This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.
 

Kino, das ist das Leben was uns umgibt. Nur besser.
 

Well, luckily with animation, fantasy is your friend.

Alfred Hitchcock hat Spannung zu einer so hohen Kunstform erhoben wie niemand anderes aus seiner oder irgendeiner anderen Generation.
 

Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
 

Meiner Meinung nach sind die besten Filme vor 1960 entstanden.
 

I think the key divide between the interactive media and the narrative media is the difficulty in opening up an empathic pathway between the gamer and the character, as differentiated from the audience and the characters in a movie or a television show.
 

Wo ein Wille und ein dickes Bankkonto sind, da ist auch ein Weg.

Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!

Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. 

Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true.

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

You have many years ahead of you to create the dreams that we can't even imagine dreaming. You have done more for the collective unconscious of this planet than you will ever know.

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

Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it; but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.

I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

I have a choice - I can either watch all the dailies, or I can follow the social media. I can't do both.

Making a movie and not directing the little moments is like drinking a soda and leaving the little slurp puddle for someone else.

Social media has taken over in America to such an extreme that to get my own kids to look back a week in their history is a miracle, let alone 100 years.
