There's going to be moments where you will get to the set and you're not going to know "what the hell you're doing". It happens to all of us. You've got to guard that secret with your life. Let no one see when you're unsure of yourself. Hide that from everybody, or you'll lose the respect of everyone.
The camera was my pen. I wrote my stories through the lens.
He never lost sight of the fact that the audience early on for him wasn't the audience in the theater. The audiences were the studio executives. And he figured out how to make a film that will convince the studio executives that" Yes, I have the talent to be a director.This is what I can do. "
If you want to be a real filmmaker, you can't be afraid of anything or anybody.
Steven had a gear in his brain that automatically translated words into pictures.
The way that Spielberg's camera moved through a shot and then ended up somewhere that completely shifted or intensified the emotion of the scene.
His strength is really the ability to be able to tell a story in pictures instinctively.
We were absolutely obsessed with movies but we certainly didn't look at it as a career. We didn't think we were ever going to make any money at it.
He wanted to make a prettier picture than it was intended in the text. He wants to make everything like that. He wants to make life like that.
He was kind of like an abstract painter who has his canvas and has a palette of extraordinary colors but just doesn't know what color to put on that screen first. But once he's committed to that color, he was just firing on all cylinders...and we'd all be running after him" What?What?" He's be inspired. He saw something.
A great conductor needs a good soloist. So just trust that. Just go into his direction. I just opened myself for Steven.
His intuition for something real and present is very strong.
Everything we do in this medium is about light and shadow.
Doing a movie has to scare you a little bit, otherwise, you're not pushing it.
He really nurtures young talent coming up.
If you don't have this lifetime of cinematic language in your head, that's a different kind of day. But because his eye is so connected to his brain and every movie that he's ever seen and every movie that he's ever made, he just went out and said" Here's how we're going to do this and that's it. "
Geography is one of the most important things to me so the audience isn't thrown into chaos trying to figure out the story you're telling. The audience needs to be clearer than you.

All my films come from the part of myself that I really can't articulate. I certainly have intuitive facilities. But I don't really analyze those or don't really question them. It's like looking a gift horse in the mouth. And I'm almost superstitious that if I start to question that it's going to fly away.
All of Steven's sensibilities were right in tune with this young man's journey.
