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

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.

In November 2008, the day of the presidential election, Israeli military forces invaded Gaza and killed half a dozen Hamas militants. Well, that was followed by a missile exchange for a couple of weeks in both directions.

But everything written has style. The list of ingredients on the side of a cornflakes box has style. And everything literary has literary style. And style is integral to a work. How something is told correlates with - more - makes what's being told. A story is its style.

The only thing I'd ever wanted in my life was to be a major-league ballplayer, but I had to admit to myself that I wasn't good enough. It broke my heart.

Tang sucks.

Jon Ronson makes me laugh. I've read all of his books.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

We live in a world which is changing very fast. What seems contemporary now will be historical in two years.

Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known.

The Florida Jewish community is incredibly important in the primary and will be that important in the general election as well.

Bill Powell is the only intelligent actor I've ever met.

I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.

The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I've done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but.

Mitt Romney understands free enterprise, he has worked in it. He has seen companies succeed and he has seen them fail, too. He knows what people think about when they invest their money.

A woman gets stretch marks from one of two things. Either she was big and got small or she was small and got big.

When the audience first sees Cooper talking into his tape recorder at the beginning of 'Twin Peaks,' I think that's the greatest introduction to a character I've seen in my career. It tells you everything about the guy right there in a few minutes as well as bringing up a whole load of questions.

One can not impede scientific progress.

As an actor, I think a mistake that any storyteller can make is to play the ending.

I'm not a political guy.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.

We know that as a Christian athlete, people are watching, and so we want to be the best example we can be and show that we are different - that Christ has changed our lives.

Lately I've been working to convince myself that everything is a computation.

Stressing the God-centered life can lead to an otherworldly withdrawal from everyday earthly life.
