In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn't categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried to give it up, believe me. I tried to kick the habit. But there's too much I liked about it to give it up completely.

When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.

I can't tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that's flying a space ship.

I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.

Acting in "Star Wars," I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.

I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be.

I always think a day when you never get out of your pajamas is a win.
