The nature of human beings is that we're competitive, and the chances are there's someone out there who's going to work harder than you and want it more than you.

Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I'm in this 'Star Wars' world, that I'm a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it's too hard to wrap my head around.

Making a movie like 'Felony' is hard work because you're really putting your own ideas on the screen. You can't hide behind some other person's script; you're saying, 'This is my brain, and I want you to know what I think'.'

I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that's really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve... making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.

I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.

I love what I do, but it occurs to me I may have handed over a large portion of my life to fiction.

I'm pretty skeptical about Hollywood and its fascination with the sequel and the franchise.
I never imagined myself in a movie with magic.
