I dont work weekends. Weekends are for my kids. And I have dinner at home every night when Im not physically directing a movie - I get home by six. I put the kids to bed and tell them stories and take them to school the next morning. I work basically from 9.30 to 5.30 and Im strict about that.
Steven SpielbergI wouldn't have filmed The Color Purple if the book had been a big fat novel. The reason I read it is because it is thin.
Steven SpielbergI have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.
Steven SpielbergI always like to play with my kids. I always have the time to do that. That's my priority, always has been, so just interacting with my kids, and being with them is great.
Steven SpielbergI'm 62 years old. Am I old enough to win a lifetime achievement award? Yes, I am. Thank you very much.
Steven SpielbergMy movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence [...] I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.
