It's really easy to make a movie that five people understand. It's really hard to make something that a lot of people understand and yet is not obvious, still has subtlety and ambiguity, and leaves you with something to do as a viewer.

I guess why the Ocean's films...

I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out.

I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.

I'm trying to develop an approach to putting out a movie in wide release that makes some kind of economic sense for the filmmakers and the people that have a participation in the movie.

I'm a big believer in volume. If I made three times as many movies as Stanley Kubrick, that must mean I'm three times as good.

The great thing about the business is how Darwinian it is. We have to swim or die - if you are found wanting over a period of time, you've either got to change what you're doing or find something else to do.

Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.

Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

A lot of people get very mist...

A lot of people get very misty-eyed about celluloid. When I think of the time that's wasted in sending it back to the lab and having it developed and brought back, it would make me insane. I love getting my hands on the stuff immediately. That doesn't work for everybody. It just works for me.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

One of the reasons why I thin...

One of the reasons why I think virtual reality, as a narrative format, is never going to go beyond the short-form immersion space is because the bedrock of visual storytelling is the reverse angle. If you can't look into the eyes of the protagonist, you cannot hold people's attention for more than 15 minutes.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

As vocal as some people have ...

As vocal as some people have been about how emotionally attached they've been to celluloid, I've been equally emotional in my stance that nothing is more valuable than this. Than being able to see the result of your work quickly.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

I guess I didn't feel confide...

I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

I don't consider myself to be...

I don't consider myself to be particularly gifted in the way that other filmmakers are gifted.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

I'm sure some people will say...

I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient.

Well, it's 15 years since Sex, Lies And Videotape, and if you hang around long enough you're having the same arguments with just a new set of people every few years and it gets boring.

A success, to me, is the ability to keep working. That's success. It has nothing to do with money; it's the ability to keep getting things made, period.

It's pretty clear to me that working as a director for hire agrees with me. I like it. The films that have come out of that, I personally like better than the ones that didn't.

Steven Soderbergh 148 quotes

Cinema is not about format, a...

Cinema is not about format, and it's not about venue. Cinema is an approach. Cinema is a state of mind on the part of the filmmaker. I've seen commercials that have cinema in them, and I've seen Oscar-winning movies that don't. I'm fine with this.

I try to focus on the stuff that I can control and let go of the other stuff.

It would be nice if all people who saw movies had some sort of basic understanding of what they're looking at, but I don't think you can assume that.
