I wanted to make a real love story with a bad ending, because a love story that ends good is the life of everyone - you and I, for example.

I knew I had found my life's passion after writing my first column for The Washington Post. The response was like nothing we had seen in the business section.

I had not done stilts before that show, and I had about two weeks to learn how to do that, and they were just made with off-off Broadway money. The ones that I had in Rogue One were made by [Industrial Light & Magic]. So they were really easy. They were made with actual prosthetic feet on the bottom. They were athletic, in a way. I could run in them. There was a bounce to them that I could use.
