A Quote by Steven Spielberg

There's nothing self-serving about what motivated me to bring 'Schindler's List' to the screen. — © Steven Spielberg
There's nothing self-serving about what motivated me to bring 'Schindler's List' to the screen.
I put Liam at the top of the list, the male actor list, because I had just seen Schindler's List again and Michael Collins, and I was just like, 'God, what an incredible actor.'
I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.
THERE WAS NEVER A SCHINDLER'S LIST. It was drawn up by a man called Goldman. This man took money to put a name on that list - no money, no place on the list. I was told this by a Dr Schwartz, in Vienna; he had paid in diamonds to save his wife
There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made... but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to. The first was 'ET,' the second 'Schindler's List,' and third is 'Saving Private Ryan.'
I have a list a mile long of faults that sometimes bring me to my knees in self-hatred.
Before 'Schindler's List,' I wouldn't have believed movies had a lot of power for social change.
Like, I took no poetic license with 'Schindler's List' because that was historical, factual documents.
If you take away 'Schindler's List' and 'Saving Private Ryan', I like 'Minority Report' a lot.
A lot of presidential memoirs, they say, are dull and self-serving. I hope mine is interesting and self-serving.
I don't think 'Jurassic Park' could have been so much fun had Spielberg not made a 'Schindler's List.'
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.
self-sacrifice is one of a woman's seven deadly sins (along with self-abuse, self-loathing, self-deception, self-pity, self-serving, and self-immolation).
I don't mean to sound grandiose, but there's something universal that you tap into with films like Feast of July and Schindler's List. You know they aren't make-believe. They illustrate something about life. This is my major concern whenever I select a film
I am a big fan of 'E.T.,' of course. And I remember watching 'Jurassic Park' - I was so into it. Oh, and 'Schindler's List.' That one was amazing, too.
I'm highly critical of myself. There's not something someone else might say that makes me feel I need to be motivated in a different way. I'm a self-motivated guy.
Takers are self-serving in their interactions. It's all about what can you do for me.
