You need peers; you need people who are at the same level you are. You never know in life when you're going to need help, and you never know who you're going to need it from.

George Lucas 283 quotes

Most artists, most painters, ...

Most artists, most painters, even composers would want to come back and redo their work. They've got a new perspective on it, they've got more resources, they have better technology, and they can fix or finish the things that were never done.

George Lucas 283 quotes

One of the basic motifs in fairy tales is that you find the poor and unfortunate along the side of the road, and when they beg for help, if you give it to them, you end up succeeding. If you don't give it to them, you end up being turned into a frog or something. It's something that's been around for thousands of years, a concept that's been around for thousands of years.

Don't avoid the cliches - they are cliches because they work!

George Lucas 283 quotes

The underlying issues, the psychological motives, in all my movies have been the same, he said. Personal responsibility and friendship, the importance of a compassionate life as opposed to a passionate life.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

I wanted to be a car mechanic and I wanted to race cars and the idea of trying to make something out of my life wasn't really a priority. But the accident allowed me to apply myself at school. I got great grades. Eventually I got very excited about anthropology and about social sciences and psychology, and I was able to push my photography even further and eventually discovered film and film schools.

George Lucas 283 quotes

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

George Lucas 283 quotes

My first six years in the bus...

My first six years in the business were hopeless.
There are a lot of times when you sit and you say "Why am I doing this?
I'll never make it.
It's just not going to happen.
I should go out and get a real job, and try to survive."

George Lucas 283 quotes

Success is when you try to ac...

Success is when you try to achieve your inward vision externally and have it come off the way you see it. Then YOU feel successful about it; that's how success is measured.

George Lucas 283 quotes

You have to understand that it's a very cooperative world, not only with the environment, with but our fellow human beings. If you do not cooperate, if you do not work together to keep the entire organism going, the whole thing dies, and everybody dies with it. That's a law of nature, and it's existed forever. We're one of the very few creatures that has a choice, and can intellectualize the process.

I intend more of a kinship with silent films than more modern film. I like the old cinema. My films are more of a hybrid - a different style of filmmaking to what I call talking head movies. Some people don't get it. Especially the more academic types.

George Lucas 283 quotes

STAR WARS is really three trilogies, nine films. The first trilogy covers the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, the middle trilogy the fall of the Empire, and the last trilogy involves the rebuilding of the Republic. It won't be finished for probably another 20 years.

George Lucas 283 quotes

For the third trilogy, I don't know if I will still be alive when it comes the time to make them.

George Lucas 283 quotes

Most organisms either adapt and become part of the system, or get wiped out. The only thing we have to adapt to the system with is our brain. If we don't use it, and we don't adapt fast enough, we won't survive.

I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.

George Lucas 283 quotes

The older you get, the less seriously you take criticism. I've gotten to a point now where I ignore it completely. It's just not relevant to me anymore.

George Lucas 283 quotes

Rejoice for those around you ...

Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose

George Lucas 283 quotes

It took me three, four years, to get from my first film to my second film, banging on doors, trying to get people to give me a chance. Writing, struggling, with no money in the bank, working as an editor on the side. Working as a cameraman on the side. Getting little jobs, eking out a living. Trying to stay alive, and pushing a script that nobody wanted.

If I had time and a hammer, I'd track down every bootleg copy and smash it.
