I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.

It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.

The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.

I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space.
