(1995 quote) It was never my dream to be famous. I didn’t start acting to be a movie star. I started in the theater and my desire was to get better at my craft. It’s still my desire. I don’t consider myself a movie star, nor do I really have the desire to be one. I’m just an entertainer. An actor who works hard at his craft. Whatever labels people give me, that’s not really me or part of my process. Come and talk with me again on my 50th birthday and I may feel differently, but right now, I’m just taking the lesson from one of my old teachers who said, “Don’t be afraid to fail big.”.

[When asked if the character Princess Leia was the dark side of the force in your professional career] Oh, no. It was fun! I was young. People want it to be a problem for me. No. Those are great movies. Why shouldn’t I be proud of being in that? The dark side? You ever see Hollywood Vice Squad (1986) or The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)? How about Under the Rainbow (1981)? Was Star Wars the dark side? There’s so much competition for that one.
