Even when Warren [Beatty] cast me, it had been two years between films at that point.

Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.

Like I've known Francis [For Coppola] for so long I think, "Oh, Francis." And then you see his name on something with The Godfather, and you go, "Oh, yeah. He's also that." The person you knew of before you met the actual person.

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.

I auditioned for four or five years and didn't get anything after that.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

Even though I grew up in L.A., no one in my family was in the movie industry.
