The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

Somebody comes to your house. You know they're coming, so it's not a surprise. And they give you an envelope that has your scenes in it. And they sit in the car outside for a half an hour while you read your scenes, then they ring your doorbell and you give your scenes back. Then you shoot the movie a few weeks later or something. The next time you see your scenes is the night before you start shooting. I never read the script [Blue Jasmine], so I didn't really know what it was about.

I'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.

One of the big takeaways from that experience [in Blue Jasmin] was just what a thrill it was to act with somebody like Cate Blanchett operating on that caliber. Because what she was doing was very powerful. T

You do need these people to go out on a limb for you, thinking you're right for a role rather than having box office numbers.

But even a kid, directing was something that I did. I made short films in school. I feel like I've been in the best film school in the world.

I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.
