I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.

I was never really a comic-book fanatic.

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

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

When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.

George Lucas is the reason that we got to make this movie, you know, he was the man that created this whole galaxy, and I am incredibly grateful to him. He's an artist and he's a grown-up. And I take him at his word, and it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, but I respect, you know, his right to his opinion.

I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.
