Spielberg (2017 TV Movie)

George Lucas: Self - Director, Producer

Quotes 

• Self - Director : I was over at Francis Coppola's and "Duel" was going to be shown that night. So, I sort of snuck away from the party and I said I want to see this film. I want to see what this kid did. You know, I was sort of on the fence about Steven. He knows what he's doing. Nice. But, a little too Hollywoody for my taste. I saw "Amblin" and I thought "Amblin" was nice, but, it wasn't, you know, it was very, very flashy, it was very, very professional. And for the rest of us, we were all rough-edged, crazy guys that were doing much more dirty work. So, I thought, well, I watch the first half hour and just see what he's up to. And I end up watching the whole thing. And I came down to Francis and said,"This guy's amazing. You really got to look at this film."

• Self - Director : [on "Raiders of the Lost Ark"]  It was going to be an all out "B" movie. And "B" movies are fun because they don't take themselves that seriously. You do them quick. You do them dirty. You cheat on everything you possibly can to save as much money as you possibly can. And you don't worry about the fact that it's not going to be "Lawrence of Arabia".
