'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977) is probably the most influential film of my generation. That work was the personification of good and evil and the way it opened up the world to space adventure, the way westerns had to our parents' generations, it left an indelible imprint. So, in a way, everything that any of us does is somehow directly or indirectly affected by the experience of seeing those first three films.

Well, we knew that we wanted to tell a story that made bold choices, and one of those bold choices was meeting a storm trooper and seeing who this person was. That's something that had never been done.

I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.

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

My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.

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

My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family
