Sometimes you must let go of your pride and do what is asked of us. Anakin Skywalker, Episode 2: Attack of the Clones

I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.

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

I have a strong feeling about interesting people in space exploration. . . . And the only way it's going to happen is to have some kid fantasize about getting his ray gun, jumping into his spaceship, and flying into outer space.

You can't do it unless you can imagine it.

'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.

Always remember, your focus determines your reality.
