When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.

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.

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'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.

A day is too precious a treasure to forfeit.

My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.

Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in.

She said she married an architect, who kept her warm and safe and dry. She would like to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie.

It's a sound bite. It's very of this age, because that's what people want.

Working is very important to me. Probably because as a child I was taught that work was good. I don’t believe it intellectually but I identify with that idea. So it’s probably just like a habit.

The whole object of comedy is to be yourself and the closer you get to that, the funnier you will be.

I've decided to just keep doing Oh, Hello, where I play an older man who thinks he's very cultured. That clearly has not gone away.

But I still don't know what kind of monster was this god, until I saw that Jesus deliberately hid his light under a bushel. "Tell no one" was often his command.

It's not a good feeling--knowing that you profoundly deserve the title of monster. It's better to be kind than to feel guilty.
