Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
Down here, I am. Find a ladder, I must!
Early must I rise. Leave now you must!
As far as food goes, I'm pretty easy. I love Japanese food. I love meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I love spaghetti. I'm easy.
Nobody else could do that kind of writing?. He was the Muppet writer.
Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
I looked up to him because I was just a kid and this guy was actually doing the real work,
There's a side of him that's extremely private, where he just wants to be by himself.

In the low-budget world, there is more pressure on speed but less pressure on the amount of money, meaning when you don't have enough money, you have to shoot faster.

There's a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn't get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I'm just not doing that. There's a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too safe.

Not that it was unsatisfying to do, but it was unsatisfying as a result because, as much as I loved parts of it, and I'm really proud of so much of it, the entire movie wasn't what I wanted it to be. It's my own fault; I didn't follow my instincts.
