I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there’s a versatility involved that’s challenging and...

I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what’s acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to...

In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn’t categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried...

A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.

I’m surprised at people who have a passion for Mitt Romney, because he’s taken every position there is. I would cast this guy as the president in a heartbeat… but I just cannot believe a...

When I was involved with ‘Star Wars,’ I was very interested in all the backstories, and I used to pepper George with all kinds of questions about anything that crossed my mind, because I was...

I can’t tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that’s flying a space ship.

When I was a teenager, I did one animated series back when I was on ‘General Hospital.’ It was 1971 or ’72. Then I didn’t do animation until ‘Batman.’

Character roles only indicate that they’re very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it’s fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.

Part of me always longed to do just one more film and see what Luke would be like now that he’s on the level of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the student having become the master. But it...

I love actors, number one. There’s probably nobody that you could name that I don’t like, depending on what it is they’re in.

There’s something fascinating about watching artists draw.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Dick Cheney to Vader – it’s unfair to Vader.

I’m so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be.

You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don’t think I have that.

‘Star Wars’ is more fairy tale than true science fiction.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don’t. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

I live in a sort of insular world. It’s mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.

I have failed ‘Star Wars’ trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I’ve never heard of.

Acting in ‘Star Wars’ I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn’t even know who the cantaloupes were.

You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don’t have that.

So much of life is what you roll and where you land.

I debated in high school! If you told things that weren’t true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It’s too bad they don’t apply the same standards to presidential candidates...

I’ve always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.

I love the fact that, one time, my face was on the back of a cereal box – probably 3-CPO’s – and it was a mask where you cut out the eye holes and put...

I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not...

At the last Celebration I spoke before an auditorium full of people and I could just feel the affection and the positive feelings that they were exuding. It was actually moving. I remember thinking, ‘I’m...

One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it’s a situation where – because you’re not encumbered by being seen – it’s liberating. You’re able to make broad choices that you would...

Launching a Broadway show is like no other endeavor. It’s taxing because you’re present – it’s not like cutting a movie and test focus-grouping it and filling out forms.

I think ‘Comic Book: The Movie’ is the apex of my career in terms of making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but...

When you say ‘comic book’ in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.
