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

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.

One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.

I actually have the Arcade PC at home, and it has 5,500 games on it. Everything from the old school, Galaga, Tron, Missile Command, anything you can think of, they're all on there. I love the old school games.

I watch ESPN all day. If you come into my trailer, ESPN is on. That's the first thing I do when I leave the set.

The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present.

I think people would be suprised at how much we curse when we screw up. I'm like somebody with Tourette's Syndrome.

I can't afford to die; I'd lose too much money.

Charles and I are from Augusta, Ga. - so we come from James Brown territory, soul music and Motown. And Charles has always had a lot of Southern rock in there as well.

Through my career at ExxonMobil, I've been actively involved in United Way campaigns.

You know, tigers are very unpredictable.

The Librarian liked being best man. You were allowed to kiss bridesmaids, and they weren't allowed to run away.

Look at television and how comparatively few minorities are out there.

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that fear has no power.

Facebook and Myspace are the U.S. audience, which is tried and true when it comes to being susceptible to ads.

Gigi is my perfect partner. She's my best friend. She's the most fun of anyone I know, and she's also the kindest and most tolerant person.

Style-wise, Valle Nevado is what can only be described as 'hip international.' Brazilians, Chileans and Europeans make the place seem like an electronic music festival transported to an remote Andean valley. Huge speakers blare out thumping, bass-heavy music, while promotoras stalk the staircases selling everything from Red Bull to mobile phones.

I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.

There are great comic books, these great geniuses that manage to tell you a story in one frame, and that became the thing that opened my eyes.

Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours.

Well, you know, the definition of second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

What's the whole point of being pretty on the outside when you're so ugly on the inside'

The passion for setting people right is in itself an afflictive disease.

In my native Boulder County, Colorado, the fracking fanatics are out in force. They are marching door-to-door, petitions and mythology in hand, and they are storming city council and county commissioner meetings.

We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
