My agent set up a meeting with George Lucas. They were casting in England.

George Lucas was casting about and had heard favourable things about my work in Clockwork Orange and asked me to come in, which of course I did even though no one knew what the film was about!

So I went to George and told him I had the opportunity to become the figurehead of a government safety campaign, and he agreed to give me the week off and reschedule shooting!

Actually, the Department of Transport were at one stage going to sack me.

I was a great admirer of George Lucas' work.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
