On playing Biggs:
"I had just been out in the desert on a film called Mohammed, later called The Message, so I had quite a lot to talk about to do with the desert, and he (George Lucas) had just come back from Morocco and Tunisia having been scouting locations there. It was a very easy conversation because George was quite ill at ease with interviewing the actors and we were told to keep talking! We were advised that George could be very silent, and we were just to chat. It was fun for me to go back to the desert, because I'd learned quite a bit of Arabic. "

"They (George Lucas and the young actors) were fantastic. When we got out to Jerabia in Tunisia, we had four or five days of great fun. Riding around on camels and horses. In the end, we only had one day's shooting there and that was great -- it seemed to go very well there. It was a very exciting time."
