More quotes by Alan Tudyk
Gareth [Edwards] was very open to just shaping the performances and the scenes to fit what was happening with the actors and the storytelling that was emerging.
Alan Tudyk
Reading is a heady thing. You can be into the action of someone's thoughts and take a whole trip down someone's ruminations while seconds tick by in the world that they're in, but you can't really do that in film. Some films can, but not too much.
Alan Tudyk
Kaytoo [from the Star Wars] is more even-keeled. And he's a badass. He comes from the Empire, and he's a security droid. Some people call him an enforcer droid. He has the ability to enforce things. That was what he was built for. He's tall. He has an intimidating frame.
Alan Tudyk
It was a very interesting challenge [Heihei role] because he's limited to rooster-y, chicken-type noises, and he goes along on the whole adventure. It just becomes, If that's how you express yourself, go for it.
Alan Tudyk
R2-D2 is like that, but I think because he doesn't speak actual words, his jokes don't land. It's really a hindrance. And the same with BB-8. But Artoo is a lot stronger.
Alan Tudyk
I haven't been to too many cons since Star Wars, and I don't think it's really going to change until it comes out.
Alan Tudyk
BB-8 [from Star Wars] his accent is so thick. You can't make out a damn word he says.
Alan Tudyk
Those are always fun characters to play, the ones who are stupid but speak with authority.
Alan Tudyk
[I'm] a huge defender of clowns around the world.
Alan Tudyk
I feel much more comfortable as an artist collaborating with others because I feel more mature.
Alan Tudyk
Gareth [Edwards] was very much about including everyone in what we were making, so he would cut together different scenes to show us what we were making. And the crew, cast, everyone would go into a theater there at Pinewood Studios and watch 10 minutes of what we were making. It was always so exciting. It looked amazing, and the music was huge.
Alan Tudyk
I'm a geeky actor, in the way that I like the craft of acting. I trained as a stage actor and was given a lot of technical tools to play with. I like the craft of acting. It sounds geeky when I say it, but it's true.
Alan Tudyk
I actually oddly have done another robot motion capture. I did Sonny in I, Robot.
Alan Tudyk
The reason I got into acting was the audience is right there and if you did something great they were right there and you knew it.
Alan Tudyk
I love Diego [ Luna Cassian]. Diego is very funny. He's a very cool guy. I'm looking forward to doing all the press stuff and getting to hang out with him and everybody again.
Alan Tudyk
You do a film and you have hopes for it, and you read it, and you see it one way in your head, and you shoot it, and it'll always change from what you started out. Sometimes it turns out better, sometimes it turns out I don't know, but as movies go I've never experienced seeing and likening what I've read, and I liked what I read.
Alan Tudyk
This movie [Moana] has a very small cast, and this was the role [Heihei] that they offered me. I loved voicing him.
Alan Tudyk
The wrinklier the raisin, the sweeter the fruit.
Alan Tudyk
[Heihei] a really dumb rooster. You have to just turn the rooster so his head ends up hitting the grain. He's not smart enough to eat.
Alan Tudyk
[ Gareth Edwards] never wanted to force anything that wasn't true. He's very much an actor's director, and it was loose.
Alan Tudyk
