Christensen on looking back at the Star Wars saga and whether he feels any different about the experience:

"I think you always feel different about things in retrospect. I’ve grown up a little bit and things change but never with any regret to what I’ve done in the past. I knew full well what I was signing up for. I knew how big Star Wars was and this would follow me for the rest of my life. I thought it was great and a rare opportunity. Obviously when people bump into me in the street and recognize me, it’s from that film. But I get a real kick out of it when it’s a 14-year-old kid who can’t necessarily differentiate between me and the character I played, and they look up to you with these big wide eyes and that’s really cool. But it’s allowed me to do this as well. If I hadn’t done those films, I don’t know where I’d be."

On being a young single actor with a farm:

"Well, if it wasn’t for the farm I don’t know how well I’d be doing. The farm goes over very well with the ladies... I’ve been very fortunate and I’m very thankful for the luck I’ve had - and a lot of it is luck."

Christensen on his knowledge of farming:

"I’m learning. It’s sort of what I like to do; find new things and try to figure out how to do them and challenge myself. I try to do that in my acting and in all aspects of my life - trying to figure out how to fly a plane right now and I’m trying to get my pilot’s license. So I had a lot of fun on this because Doug [Liman] actually had his own plane. He flies around in a single engine prop plane and his process is a little unique, his filming process. So oftentimes I’d get a call and he’d say, 'Where are you?' And I’d say, 'I’m up at the farm.' And he’d say, 'What are you doing this weekend?' And I’d go, ‘Nothing.’ And he’d say, 'Okay, I’m coming to pick you up. Let’s get a couple of shots.' And so he’d literally fly to this little airport that is 15 minutes from my farm and pick me up and go somewhere. And oftentimes he’d let me fly somewhere. It was good."

On the purpose of his farm:

"It’s a place for my family and my sister actually has her own place 15 minutes away, and my parents come and spend time. And I have a little sister who is living there right now, so it’s a family thing."

On whether he'd like to marry and settle down on the farm:

"Definitely appeals to me."

On the farm being so far away from Hollywood:

"Yeah, that’s the idea." [laughs]

Christensen on his love for cooking:

"I love to cook. It’s definitely a hobby, a pastime. I’m trying to perfect the chicken roast right now. I’m trying to work on that, which I’ve been doing for about half a year, so right now I’ll do a roast chicken once a week."

On the difference between meeting women when he became famous compared to meeting women as an unknown:

"It was day and night. It was easy for me to observe the difference because it came so quickly. The shift was so dramatic for me that at the time they announced [that] I got the Star Wars movie everything changed, and the film hadn’t come out but everyone knew about it. I think that gave me real perspective as well as I was able to distance myself from it a little bit and - I was able to very clearly understand what the motive was and where it was all coming from. I didn’t feel like it was anything I earned. I went in for an audition and they gave it to me for whatever reason, and then everything changed."

Christensen on the downsides of his fame:

"I don’t know if I’d call it a downside, but people recognize you. The ability to go out and get a coffee and expect to do it without being bothered, not that it’s a bother, but that doesn’t happen."

Hayden Christensen on what he'll do if his Jumper image winds up on a vareity of products:

"[laughs] I’ll just know when to avoid the convenience stores."
