But, apart from that, there was very little on underneath the suit.

I really enjoyed the last scene at the Ewok celebration after the battle.

After a while, the character sort of took over.

Doing the Muppet Show you forget about conventional filming.

With Star Wars fans, there's so much enthusiasm, and it's a completely different generation now.

When you consider that you're a character that doesn't speak, but you've still got to react to the other actors, you've got to make a noise of some kind.

A whole new generation is looking at the videos, and going to the video shop and buying the re-release of the complete trilogy, which you can buy at a reasonable price.

I think the things I wanted answered have been answered by people in the know that we can't talk about, so I'm perfectly happy with how Chewie came to be where he is and what is going on in Episode III.

I think the main thing was that the character couldn't speak in regular language, so he had to be mimed.

They asked if I was interested in a role as a large alien in a movie.

It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn't know I was doing it.

After my own for instance, my favourite is Princess Leia.

When you've got eight or nine or ten cables running around with someone trying to operate them, it's too much.

I can go out in public without being recognized. If I want to be recognized in public, it will happen.

Never having played Chess before, it was most interesting to be playing the game with no pieces in front of me. But I still knew how to stroke my hair when I won.

I think that Star Wars revolutionized not only sci-fi movies, but also the entire industry in the way that things are done.

But, apart from that, there was very little on underneath the suit.

I think by that time I knew where Chewie was going, and he left me to do what was called for, because the character had been well established. You know, it was like putting on a second skin by that time.

Richard Marquand, on Jedi, was very much an actor's director.

George has only got to ring me. His imagination is so wonderful, I'd do any character he might create.

This has been the best thing that ever happened to me.

With my mask, I controlled all of the mouth movements with my own mouth.

George Lucas puts those types of characters in for the kids. Same with Jar Jar.

We must be agents of love.

If the poor overweight jogger only knew how far he had to run to work off the calories in a crust of bread he might find it better in terms of pound per mile to go to a massage parlor.

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.

When I'm around the kids I feel like I act the most grown-up just because you're supposed to. And I say things, like every other day, that remind me of my own parents.

In my solitude I have pondered much on the incomprehensible subjects of space, eternity, life and death.

When one is writing a novel in the first person, one must be that person.

Party hard, study harder!

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves, otherwise we harden.

I have nothing to lose and think that it's a positive thing that I am young and playing on a good level.

The body responds to a calorie deficit by slowing down the metabolism and burning muscle tissue. That leads to weakness, sluggishness, slow times. In girls, it can also result in cessation of menstrual periods, which in turn leads to loss of bone density and frequent stress fractures.

When you consider what Tony Blair was saying about liberty, human rights and that sort of thing, it would be terribly revolutionary to sell the speeches he and Jack Straw made in 1994.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.

The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea.

Expect great things from God attempt great things for God.

The soul fortunately has an interpreter often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter in the eye.

Fossil fuels, including oil, are running out and supplies are getting harder to find. If we do nothing, prices will continue to rise and our reliance on oil will come to an abrupt and tumultuous end, causing global economic and social turmoil.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

I have the feeling that a lot of poets writing now are - they sort of tap dance through it.

The law often allows what honor forbids.

I fell even more deeply in love with Tolkien's legendarium after studying Old English literature at uni, as I got a sense of the historical events and cultures that Tolkien used to create his world. My favourite of his imaginary locations is Lothlorien.

Gambling is part of the human condition. I love it. I have the best time gambling. I've been winning fortunes, and I've been losing them.

There is a certain sense in which I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there by chance.

A lot of people tell me I have to trash-talk more, but I got here with my fists, fighting, not with my mouth.

I like the busy-ness of office life. What I discovered, to my surprise, is that I love the solitary nature of writing. What happens is that you write when you're ready.
