'Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction.

I've learned that the movies [Star Wars] will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end! I accepted that a long time ago.

You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.

The first time I went to the Oscars was surreal. It wasn't really me walking the red carpet. It was like watching a movie of a Hollywood premiere. You have to have an intellectual distance from it, because it's so atypical from your everyday life.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
