I have never fanned out at all, actually. I mean, there’s only a few people that I have fanned out about before: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, pretty much anyone from ‘Star Wars.’ But I don’t usually fan out at all, just because they’re all people just doing their jobs. It’s exciting because they do very good work!

Competitive feeling means you want do do good work. You can’t lie about wanting to be on top. There is no reason for me to be insecure at this time. I would be insecure if I was sitting at home doing nothing, but I am in films now, and that’s where I always wanted to be.

In the 23 years that I have been here in this industry, I have not once been in a position where somebody has propositioned me or I found myself in a place where they’re offering me good work in return for some favors.
