Quotes

Anthony has been described as a standoffish by other members of the Star Wars cast. Particularly Kenny Baker who has been feuding with Anthony for thirty years. (edit)
Anthony Daniels: (On Star Wars) George's devotion to digital effects over-balanced the films. Too many digital funky characters become a little bit wearing. The storytelling always gets subsumed.

(edit)
Anthony Daniels: (on the first time he saw the sketch of C-3PO) When I saw the painting by the design artist, the eyes of the character looked deep into my soul. He was a very forlorn figure with an abandoned air. He really did look into my soul. We made this tremendous contact.
(edit)
Anthony Daniels: (On Star Wars) The first film spoke to everyone on the planet. It still works as a funny, bright movie. It still has its legs. (edit)
Anthony Daniels: I have a greater appreciation for kitchen appliances, having played one. (edit)
