Spike Jonze People Quotations

I love people that willfully defy what you're supposed to be and create their own definition of their selves.

I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.

I don't know what life was like 1,000 years ago, but I imagine there was the same struggle: people trying to connect with each other.

I respect people that are die-hard film people, but I started on video. I started on Hi8 video and mini-DV, and I made skate videos. So, I love film, and I love the way it looks, but I also love the way crappy video looks, or VHS. I've always been a fan of whatever the look is that's appropriate for what the feeling is.

I remember when MySpace came out. It did do something pretty incredible - which was unite people around the world with common interests and common tastes.

There are a lot of kids in the world. People seem to keep having them.

I like people that define their own values. I am much more interested in somebody who has their own definition of what they value, their own definition of what success is, their own definition of what love is.

I definitely enjoy getting to know people I find inspiring.

You make a movie that is about what you want it to be about and let people have their reaction to it.

The things that are really out of control, and scary, are emotions - of people around you, that are unpredictable, or those in yourself which are unpredictable.
