1. George Lucas:

   Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, 'Should he be a cold-blooded killer?' because I was thinking mythologically -- should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, 'Yeah, he should be John Wayne.' And when you're John Wayne, you don't shoot people (first) -- you let them have the first shot. It's a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to.

   I can go to my brothers, tell them what’s on my mind, there’s no judgmental things there, we can pray together, we can talk Scripture together, and I can just be myself…We’ve laughed, we’ve cried… but that’s what I personally need and I think that’s what a lot of guys need. Instead of just man up, cowboy up—open up. Open up and be yourself.
