Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has revealed he sticks to his intuition when he reads film scripts and then decides if he is interested in the project.

Spielberg, 69, said it takes a "very" tiny whisper for him to decide if he is going to do a film, reported Contactmusic.

"It's not like I'm always being whispered at. It comes when I least expect it. I mainly listen to see if there's anything urging me forward when I meet a book or a script.

"I have a strong gut feeling about what I've just read. It takes a very, very, very quiet, tiny whisper to get me to say, 'This one is for me. I'm not going to give this away and produce it through my company. I'm taking this for myself'," the director said.
