I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.

I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

But I'm grateful for everyone who would want to read a spoiler because it means that they care and want to see the movie. I know what it feels like, as an enormous Star Wars fan myself.

Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge. I realized that the white page is a magic box. Ultimately, the mistery box is all of us. Ubiquitous technologies. What comes next ? Mystery as catalyst for imagination.

I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.

I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.

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.
