I heard his last movie is shit with a stupid script. Maybe listen to your own advice.

I think he's specifically talking about dealing with success as a 20-year-old. He's speaking from experience.

Ya, it was pointed out in an other post but the headline is phrased awkwardly. It makes him sound like a dickbut that wasn't really what he was saying.

Who asked?

The person interviewing him.

While appearing on a recent episode of The Rest Is Entertainment, Spielberg was asked what advice he would give to 26-year-old Obsession director Curry Barker and 20-year-old Backrooms director Kane Parsons, noting that Spielberg himself was also in his 20s when he directed Jaws (1975), which went on to win three Academy Awards.
