I was one of the few people who thought Star Wars was going to work, and I hadn't even seen any special effects.

Work hard and figure out how to be useful and don't try to imitate anybody else's success. Figure out how to do it for yourself with yourself.

'May the Force be with you' is charming but it's not important. What's important is that you become the Force - for yourself and perhaps for other people.

I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.

You have to have a darkness...for the dawn to come. You have to have experienced difficulties and challenges to fully appreciate and be grateful for success.

You're good salesman, if you make people buyproduct they don't need.

The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.

Do something. Do something small. Do something small but useful. Do something small but useful now.

A Muslim allowed a topless Jew to sit on his camel. And we say we can't live side by side? I say we try and we can and we will. And you don't even have to be topless. L'chaim.

German and English firms operate internationally, while French firms do not. The only place where they all have work is in China. Anybody can sell himself in China!

I wouldn't say I was a born writer; I'm a born thinker.

A minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!

Everything was invented when somebody was alone.
