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.

Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.

It's hard to kill that father-son bond.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.

I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.
