Quote

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.

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

LOVE your taste in subject matter... perfect summer reading!

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.

I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.

One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it's a situation where - because you're not encumbered by being seen - it's liberating. You're able to make broad choices that you would never make if you were on camera.

I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.

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

I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.

You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that.

So much of life is what you roll and where you land.

A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.

I love the fact that, one time, my face was on the back of a cereal box - probably 3-CPO's - and it was a mask where you cut out the eye holes and put a string through the side. It makes me feel like I'm 11 years old all over again.

I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.

I think 'Comic Book: The Movie' is the apex of my career in terms of making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but all the people that I've worked with in my career. All of it's riddled, on- and off-camera, with people I've known and worked with for decades.

I'm so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be.

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

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 love actors, number one. There's probably nobody that you could name that I don't like, depending on what it is they're in.

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