I am lucky, I'm the first to admit that.

I think that the success of the film is as much about it being something that families could share as anything else.

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

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.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.

You can never guess or assume what anyone is going to think.

I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
