Warwick Davis

(on frequently appearing masked on screen) Warwick: To me that's part of my working day, and I would never refuse a job where I'm under several hours of makeup, because as an actor, I enjoy performing. It's about the creation of the character and the art to me, not about being comfortable and how long it all takes. Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation.

(on looking on the internet about himself) Warwick: I think it's fun to go for a little surf and see what's out there. It's interesting to see what people are saying about me. I like keep up with the latest rumors! A while back there was a rumor that I was going to do a film with Demi Moore about the take-over of Commodore computers!

(on whether or not he is amazed by the continuing interest in the original Star Wars films.) Warwick: Yes and No. I'm amazed I'm still talking about it 25 years on, that there's still a huge amount of interest in these films, but I'm not amazed because the ideas, and the way that George made the films, are timeless. The simplicity of them is astounding in a way, because the basic story of Star Wars is very, very simple – it's good versus evil. You've got fairly straightforward characters, and characters I think people can identify with. At the same time it was very well executed – the way it was put up on screen was just perfect – and that world of Star Wars is as detailed as our world.
