Someday you're going to have to learn to separate what seems to be important from what really is important.

All the religions are true, they just see a different part of the elephant.

After a lot of struggling and sort of reflection I realized that the time you have to give is now, regardless of how old you are.

I've always just followed my own course, whatever I found the most interesting to me at the moment. I've never had a real plan of, "I want to get from here to there, and I've got to do this."

The thing about science-fiction fans and "Star Wars" fans is they're very independent-thinking people. They all think outside the box, but they all have very strong ideas about what should happen, and they think it should be their way. Which is fine, except I'm making the movies, so I should have it my way.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

The first movies, they just put up a camera and had a train come into a train station, and everybody was amazed. That was sort of all technology.
