I've Been Blessed With Enough

George Lucas Doesn't Have The Most Physical Stamina. He Was So Unhappy Making Star Wars That He Just Vowed He'd Never Do It Again.

I Believe That Filmmaking - As, Probably, Is Everything - Is A Game You Should Play With All Your Cards, And All Your Dice, And Whatever Else You've Got. So, Each Time I Make A Movie, I Give It Everything I Have. I Think Everyone Should, And I Think Everyone Should Do Everything They Do That Way.

I Gladly, I Voluntarily Gave Up The Kind Of Commercial Film Career I Had Going As Soon As I Had Enough Money To Finance My Own Films. I Didn't Make That Money Necessarily From The Film Business, But I Eventually Made A Lot Of Money And That's What I Do. Of Course, I Consider Myself Unbelievably Fortunate, And I'm Pretty Content With My Life.

One Of The Most Important Tools That A Filmmaker Has Are His/her Notes.

I've Been Offered Lots Of Movies. There's Always Some Actor Who's Doing A Project And Would Like To Have Me Do It. But You Look At The Project And Think, 'gee, There Are A Lot Of Good Directors Who Could Do That.' I'd Like To Do Something Only I Can Do.
