Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.

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've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.

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

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

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

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

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

Only with steadfast memories can we now be strong so as to undo the mistakes of the past, to begin anew and build from the rubble of their betrayal...

I never do anything that doesn't feel natural to me. I wake up in the morning and I know what to put on - it's my sixth sense, really.

The Christians had a better chance against the lions than the American consumer has against the OPEC cartel

In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health.

I might play in shorts, but I wear the pants.

People, of all ages, are far more open than you might think to being moved in new ways.

This is a very tough business, politics. It's easy to get resentful or full of bitterness ... (but) I think hatred hurts the hater more than the hated. So I'm looking back on my time positively.

Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud.

If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.

A great while ago the world begun, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain; But that's all one, our play is done, And we'll strive to please you every day.
