Frank Oz - biography

“The biggest problems with movies are expectations.”

“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”

“The more work I do, the more important it is to work with people I like - who are very talented.”

“Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.”

“I’d like to read a book sometime.  I’ve never read a book before.  That’d be an adventure.  I understand they have pages and everything.  Yeah, I’ve got to do that sometime.”

“In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against.”
