[On having to choose between playing Darth Vader and Chewbacca in 'Star Wars']: "I took the part of the villain because everyone remembers the villain."
[On his work as the Green Cross Code Man]: "Best job I've ever had."
[Asked if during the making of the star wars trilogy at any point did he feel claustrophobic due to the mask and suit completely covering his whole body while at Collectormania 10 at Milton Keynes] "The suit was made to fit and was very very comfortable so no I didn't feel at all claustrophobic but the only problem I did experience was that in the mask I got very very hot!"
