It's a real challenge to have someone perform a character vs. imitate a character.

I have to believe in the character to perform it.

Playing a real-life character is a challenge and a huge responsibility.

I do love my hometown. It really forged who I am in a major way.

Pressure, to me, was creating a 'Star Wars' film, then sitting alone in a theater with George Lucas and showing it to him, the guy that created the word 'Wookiee' and R2-D2. That was pressure.

I think why people relate to 'Star Wars' is George Lucas is so brilliant at telling these stories that we relate to, but in such a fantastic environment with fantastic characters and things you want to believe in this story.
