Reading is a heady thing. You can be into the action of someone's thoughts and take a whole trip down someone's ruminations while seconds tick by in the world that they're in, but you can't really do that in film. Some films can, but not too much.

It's closer to just acting in a film because it was a six-month commitment. We got to fly all over the world.

I definitely knew how to fly. That's something you don't forget. One spaceship is pretty much like another when it comes to flying.

[Diego Luna Cassian] quite a smartass, and I really appreciate smartasses. He used to make fun of me for the stupid backpack I wore. There were a few situations where I couldn't [wear the stilts]. [When] I was on a cliffside or running in water and stuff like that, I had to wear this backpack with a telescoping head that came off the top, and it was really stupid looking.

I haven't been to too many cons since Star Wars, and I don't think it's really going to change until it comes out.

BB-8 [from Star Wars] his accent is so thick. You can't make out a damn word he says.

Those in power at Disney, the very generous figures at Disney Animation, have convinced themselves I'm a good-luck charm for their movies, which is great. It's working out really well for me, and it seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
