I wanna make you move because you're standing still (c)
But back to the first film. Shortly after I arrived, George gave me this unbelievably idiotic hairstyle, and I'm brought before him like some sacrificial asshole and he says in his little voice, "Well, what do you think of it?" And I say - because I'm terrified I'm going to be fired for being too fat - I say, "I love it." Yeah, and the check's in the mail and one size fits all and I'll only put it in a little bit!
Because, see, there was this horrible fat thing going on! When I got this great job to end all jobs, which truly I never thought I would get because there were all these other beautiful girls who were up for the part - there was Amy Irving and Jodie Foster; this girl Teri Nunn almost got the part... Oh! and Christopher Walken almost got cast as Han Solo. (Wouldn't that have been fantastic? Anyway, when I got this job they told me I had to lose ten pounds. Well, I weighed about 105 at the time, but to be fair, I carried about fifty of those pounds in my face! So you know what a good idea would be? Give me a hairstyle that further widens my already wide face!
So you see, George Lucas is a sadist. But like any abused child, wearing a metal bikini, chained to a giant slug about to die, I keep coming back for more. Now why, you might ask? Well, (I would answer), let's face it, George Lucas is a visionary, right? The man has transported audiences the world over and has provided Mark and Harrison and myself with enough fan mail and even a small merry band of stalkers, keeping us entertained for the rest of our unnatural lives - not the mention indentities that will follow us to our respective graves like a vague, exotic smell.
