Quotes
[on being cast in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)] I'm incredibly excited, but the only way I can be of value is by ignoring fandom, ignoring the other movies to a certain extent, and just trying to do the best job possible. And I think it will be the same for everyone else.
