Quotes:
- The stage was my prime interest. I had no ambition to be a film actor and a screen career seemed unlikely to come my way. I'd done a stage adaption of Great Expectations before the war and this had been seen by David Lean and Ronald Neame. I went into the navy during the war, and when I came out they were preparing their film of Great Expectations. They remembered my performance on the stage and asked me if I'd go into their film as Herbert Pocket. I'd thought of film as a much greater mystery than the theatre and I felt a need to begin in films with a character I knew something about.
- The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. - Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star wars.
- Luke : Listen, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it. But there's nothing I can do about it right now... It's all such a long way from here.
Obi-Wan : That's your uncle talking. - Star Wars
- I liked him. The conversation was divided culturally by 8,000 miles and 30 years; but I think we might understand each other if I can get past his intensity. - on his first lunch meeting with George Lucas
