Working on the franchise and getting direction from George Lucas - it's something that I never thought would take place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I adore the work of Lucas and Spielberg. I'm certainly not trying to minimize their talents, but I'd love to see what they could do when they aren't leading us from reality.
I'm like George Lucas, bringing together a creative team that will come up with a unique, well-crafted product.
George Lucas was casting about and had heard favourable things about my work in Clockwork Orange and asked me to come in, which of course I did even though no one knew what the film was about!
I was a great admirer of George Lucas' work.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
Perhaps the most significant thing George Lucas did in creating 'Star Wars' was to fictionalize the Tao - to spark a universe where we can talk about the Force in objective terms and show it in direct action.
My agent set up a meeting with George Lucas. They were casting in England.
What I learned at LucasArts was, you don't make your bets on ideas: ideas are cheap. You make your bets on people.
I've always dreamed that George Lucas would call me one day and ask me to be in one of the 'Star Wars' films.
You're in a profession in which absolutely everybody is telling you their opinion, which is different. That's one of the reasons George Lucas never directed again.
