I'm here, and every day now is an extra day. I've been given an extra day so I've got to make the most of it.

One of the things that will never get explained in the films is how Ben was able to retain his identity, because it happened somewhere between the third and fourth movies. I set up that this is a discipline that he learned from Yoda; Yoda told him how to do that.

A movie is never finished, only abandoned.

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks.

There wasn't much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things.

For the third trilogy, I don't know if I will still be alive when it comes the time to make them.

It's hard work making movies. It's like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it's emotional, tense work. If you don't really love it, then it ain't worth it.
