Quotes from Gareth Edwards

Peter Jackson was very good to me after I made my first film, he was really one of the best things that happened after that movie. I was invited to New Zealand to go hang out with him on 'The Hobbit', and so for two weeks I got to sit next to him and watch him direct, and it was the most amazing experience you could ever have.

I think some people get confused between development and pre-production. In pre-production, you know all your dates.You know when you're aiming to release the film. You've got your script. You've got everything sorted.

I like jumping around perspective. It keeps things alive and makes you realize that your personal perspective on anything is very misleading and it's real hard to get a real sense of anything.

I consumed Spielberg movies when I was little.

Being such a fan of 'Star Wars', the dream is to be able to add something to the equation and bring something to the table like Death Troopers and ships.

Star Wars' is so rich and it seems crazy that everyone's, like, a white male guy. That's due to the 1970s and the fact that it was shot in Britain, but I was very lucky: I'm British, I grew up in England, and I got to see myself represented in a film.

I know when I was 9 and 10, I was watching films way beyond that age group, and it's what kids aspire to.

In a drama, the camera doesn't exist. In a documentary, it does.
