I'm not in a contest. I make movies. I'm not a racehorse...
Being in Washington is more fictional than being in Hollywood.
George Orwell was right. There's no greater genius as far as I'm concerned in terms of understanding human nature. I think that a lot of people just believe anything you tell them, and no matter what it is, they just go along with the program. They're perfectly happy to take their pill every day and do what they're told, and work and buy things, and work and buy things, and stay out of any complex emotional situations. And whatever the authorities tell them to do, they do, and whatever the authorities say is the truth, they believe is the truth.
I thought it [Star Wars] was too wacky for the general public. Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they don't have to see it.
If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities.
Teachers are the most important individuals in our society - nothing is as powerful as the human touch in education.
Ultimately the Force is the larger mystery of the universe. And to trust your feelings is your way into that.
I'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living. When I was making "Star Wars," I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, "I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it."
I grew up in the era, 'Don't trust anybody over 30.' And, you know, I still feel that. Don't trust me.
Oh, my. I'd forgotten how much I hate space travel.
[In ancient Rome,] why did the senate after killing Caesar turn around and give the government to his nephew? Why did France after they got rid of the king and that whole system turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.
They were at the wrong place at the wrong time naturally they became heroes
You may make something you don't think is very important during your lifetime and it'll last for a thousand years.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
