I've learned that the movies [Star Wars] will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end! I accepted that a long time ago.
Interpretation
The enduring nature of popular culture means certain stories, like Star Wars, will continuously evolve and adapt over time.
This quote by Mark Hamill reflects the concept that some cultural phenomena, such as the Star Wars franchise, possess a timeless quality that allows them to transcend generations. Hamill suggests that the story will continually be reimagined and presented through various mediums, ensuring its survival and relevance in popular culture. By embracing the idea that Star Wars will never completely end, he acknowledges the transformative power of storytelling and its ability to adapt to changing technologies and audience expectations.
In practice
In a discussion about the future of movies, one might say, 'As Mark Hamill noted, the movies will never finally end.'
In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn't categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried to give it up, believe me. I tried to kick the habit. But there's too much I liked about it to give it up completely.
I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.
I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.
I'm just glad that I'm the musical equivalent of a character actress, because blues singers can keep singing and having an audience at 35, and someone like Madonna's gonna have to find something else to do, 'cos I don't care how pointy those bras are that she wears, they're still gonna look a little odd when she's 55!
The fun for me musically is that you never quite know what works and why. So why pretend you do? Why not just put things together and discover, in the creative process, if and why they work? That approach has served me well.
You're...writing for other writers to an extent-the dead writers whose work you admire, as well as the living writers you like to read.
Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.
A good writer should be able to write comedic work that made you laugh, and scary stuff that made you scared, and fantasy or science fiction that imbued you with a sense of wonder, and mainstream journalism that gave you clear and concise information in a way that you wanted it.
I love acting. Oh, God, I love it. But all this fame and all this bullshit attention. I'm not supernatural. I've done nothing extremely special to deserve the position. It happens every couple of years, and it's happened to hundreds of people before me.
