I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
I'm so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be.
I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.
I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.
A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.
I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that.
So much of life is what you roll and where you land.
I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.
I love actors, number one. There's probably nobody that you could name that I don't like, depending on what it is they're in.
LOVE your taste in subject matter... perfect summer reading!
Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction.
There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.
