Everyone who makes a Star Wars film wants to make it their own but they also have to be true to the concept.

Actors are very good at not revealing anything, so they're safe.

All actors have to believe that our characters have a point that makes sense. Hopefully, they make sense to the crowd watching it, but at least he has to make sense in his own mind, in his own universe.

When you do a TV show, there's always the fear that it will become tired and you'll know exactly what's going to happen.

Yeah, I do all the stuff I can. Let’s be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action – the stunts. If they take that away from you, it’s a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But I’m an old gymnast. I know how to survive.

I'd just love to see the next Star Wars films when they come out because I'm very into the whole universe and the stories. So they're always rewarding.

Everybody wants a big crowd. You get amazed sometimes with certain things that millions of people are watching and you go, Serious?! Really?! And then, there are things that you really, really enjoy and not a lot of people are watching. It's very, very hard to predict how it works.

I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual.

The physicality of any character is always split up into fast, slow, high energy, low energy, what kind of personality he has. So that's where the physicality comes in. And flying through the air is just something you have to do if they ask you.

I dont wear cologne. I do occasionally, but anytime I take a shower, I just put on deodorant. Thats basically what I smell like.
