Steven Spielberg Biography

On himself:

“I dream for a living.’’

“I don't drink coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life. That's something you probably don't know about me. I've hated the taste since I was a kid.’’

On movies/his career:

“Before I go off and direct a movie I always look at four films. They tend to be Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia, It's a Wonderful Life and The Searchers.’’

“I’m as guilty as anyone, because I helped to herald the digital era with Jurassic Park. But the danger is that it can be abused to the point where nothing is eye-popping any more. The difference between making Jaws and War of the Worlds is that today, anything I can imagine, I can realise on film."

“Jaws is scary because of what you don't see, not because of what you do.’’

Others:

“Some people look on the ground when they walk. Others look straight ahead. I always look upward to the sky. This means that when you walk into things, you don't cut your forehead, you cut your chin. I've had plenty of cuts on my chin.’’
