I started out in anthropology, so to me how society works, how people put themselves together and make things work, has always been a big interest.
A director makes 100 decisions an hour. Students ask me how you know how to make the right decision, and I say to them, 'If you don't know how to make the right decision, you're not a director.'
When I was making 'Star Wars,' I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, 'I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.'
I have hundreds of projects that I want to do, and I'm running out of time - so they'll never get done, I'm afraid.
