And the parents who knew "Star Wars" could take kids and feel like they've gone back to a place that is familiar and yet found brand-new characters that took them somewhere they'd never been. And it was important me that we embrace that feeling, and you can call it retro, but I think it's what "Star Wars" is.

I don't think I have a signature.

Ratings have changed, viewer habits have changed and the options for the audience have grown enormously, but I don't think how you tell a story is fundamentally different.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

I feel like in telling stories, there are the things the audience thinks are important, and then there are the things that are actually important.

I think admitting youre an addict is the first step towards recovery.

I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
