When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'
When I found out this was going to be the last 'Star Wars' film that was ever going to be made, I felt pretty privileged to be in it.
The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.
My entire generation has grown up in the shadow of one movie: 'Star Wars.'
I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.
I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. I'm just very lucky that I'm still doing it and able to earn a living from it.
I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into.
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.
I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.
I've always been a fan of movies well before I got involved in the industry. The magic that it brings and being able to, I guess, escape your troubles, escape whatever is going on in life and getting to live in this moment and in the story and live in the lives of these characters.
