George Lucas quotes about
Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
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 secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to because if you're really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.
It's okay to lose; just don't lose the lesson.
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
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.
You can't do it unless you can imagine it.
Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard.
Someday you're going to have to learn to separate what seems to be important from what really is important.
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
I think one of the reasons that Steven (Spielberg) and I have been as successful as we have is because we like the movies. We like to go to the movies. We enjoy movies and we want to make movies like the ones we enjoy.
You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.
Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. You can be a very small hero. It's just as important to understand that accepting self-responsibi lity for the things you do, having good manners, caring about other people-these are heroic acts. Everybody has the choice of being a hero or not being a hero every day of their lives.
I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.
