Steven Spielberg
American - Director
Born: December 18, 1946

I was fifteen, or sixteen. I was in high school. I was spending a summer in California with my second cousins. And I wanted to be a director really bad. I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

Steven Spielberg

I'm proud of everything I've done. If it's comedy, it's 'cause I think it's funny. If it's a drama, it's impactful. I'm leaning towards dramas now because I wrapped a couple comedies in a row. I don't like watching myself, but it's easier on me when I don't have to carry a lot of the comedy. But I enjoy making comedies but dramas come more naturally.

Miles Teller

My dad gave me his camera, so I spent my childhood making movies with the kids in the neighborhood as actors.

Michael Giacchino

I'm not interested in making horror-comedies, but I'm very interested in making scary movies with funny parts.

Jason Blum

My priorities are really about creating balance in my home, making sure that I have enough time with my kids, making sure that I have the time to do the things that I want to do with my career, and to continue to make movies.

Nia Long

I've been obsessed with making movies since I was 15. I watched a lot of movies when I was young, and I decided that I wanted to do that because I was a passionate kid about watching movies.

Quentin Dupieux

It seems crazy moving from making little movies to making like literally movies with Marvel, which are like the biggest movies that they make.

Anna Boden

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

J. J. Abrams

A lot of Christmas episodes of comedies are comedies trying to be dramas.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.

Adam Shankman

My perception of making a movie before I started making movies was that it would be like “Spy Kids.”

Katie Chang

Pretty early on in making the first movie I realized that this is what I wanted to do. I felt like by that time I just found my niche, like this is what I was supposed to be doing. So I completely submerged myself into the world of watching movies, making my own movies, buying video cameras and lights. When I wasn't making a movie, I was making my own movies. When I wasn't making movies, I was watching movies. I was going back and studying film and looking back at guys that were perceived as great guys that I can identify with. It just became my life.

Mark Wahlberg

There are as many great superhero movies as there are comedies and dramas and cartoons. People just want to see good movies.

Josh Trank

I've been making movies for a long time. The Japanese way of making movies has become second nature to me. To get away from that, I really try to surround myself with younger staff and approach making movies not like a veteran of the industry but always as a beginner and a rookie.
