Today it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga.

If this were a fantasy world, there would be ten of me and we would each be doing what we wanted to do.

'Star Wars' is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It's what they want.

I grew up in the era, 'Don't trust anybody over 30.' And, you know, I still feel that. Don't trust me.

I regret not the things I have done, only those I have yet to do.

The theme that runs through my movies is the fact that we create barriers for ourselves....because we say, Well, I can't do that. But in the end, you can't do it unless you can imagine yourself succeeding at it.

I think that's an obligation you have, to give back no matter what happens. It actually ends up being easier when you're young than when you become successful. Suddenly you realize you've gone into a whole other realm of philanthropy, from just being a volunteer to being this person that dedicates buildings and saves lots of children in some faraway place.
