Anybody that makes films knows the film is never finished. It's abandoned or it's ripped out of your hands, and it's thrown into the marketplace, never finished. It's a very rare experience where you find a filmmaker who says, "That's exactly what I wanted. I got everything I needed. I made it just perfect. I'm going to put it out there."

As I talk to film students now especially, I say, "The easiest job you'll ever get is to try to make your first film." That's the easy one to get, is the first film because nobody knows whether you can make a film or not.

After a lot of struggling and sort of reflection I realized that the time you have to give is now, regardless of how old you are.

One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

There is no why. We are. Life is beyond reason.

I want to live where I want to live, and I will make films because I love to make films.
