You Can Never Guess Or Assume What

Well, When Kathy Kennedy, Who Is The President Of Lucasfilm, Came To Me To Ask If I'd Be Interested In Working On This "star Wars" Movie, We Talked About A Young Woman At The Center Of The Story From The Outset. And It Was Something That Was Always An Important Part Of This Movie.

What I'm Still Grappling With And Learning How To Do Is To Be Looking And Thinking Cinematically, Having Come From Television.

When You Work On Something That Combines Both The Spectacular And The Relatable, The Hyperreal And The Real, It Suddenly Can Become Supernatural. The Hypothetical And The Theoretical Can Become Literal.

I Feel Like I Learn Every Day How I Can Be A Better Producer Or Writer Or Storyteller. The Thing That Keeps Me The Most Balanced Is Just Going Home Every Day And Getting My Ass Kicked By My Kids, And Having A Wife Who Is The Most Wonderfully/brutally Honest Person I've Ever Met. I Think That That Is Always The First Lens Through Which I See The World. For Everything Else, I'm Just Grateful For The People I Work With.

Withholding Things In A Story Is No Good If You Aren't Building To Something Substantial. It Becomes Foreplay Without The Main Event, And No One Wants That.
