goes incredible life plus time
Your life goes on, and then your life goes on plus 'Star Wars.' It's just been an incredible time.
love sing song
When I feel comfortable, I just like to sing and hum, and I don't even know I'm doing it. But sometimes someone will come over to me like, 'I love that song you were singing, but it's distracting.'
fit trying
I wasn't trying to fit into a thing... it was not like I was like, 'Right, I'm the Han; I'm the Leia; I'm the Luke.' I was just like, 'Okay, I'm Rey, just trying to do me, just trying to do this scene, trying to do the right thing,' and I think that was a huge advantage because I think if not, it would've been a very different thing.
liked people
I liked 'Star Wars,' but I wasn't an uberfan like many people are.
felicity funny god love smaller
I love Felicity Jones. It was funny because I went to go see the 'Rogue One' set, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I love you.' And she's so tiny, and elegant, and she's just so small. Everyone's so much smaller than they seem.
brighter future hope people resentment time
Hope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed.
I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will.
home london love rainy
I love to come to L.A. to visit, and then I like to come to rainy old London because it's home.
cut fired next year
I auditioned for this agency. I got an advertisement first, and then something else, which I got fired from. It was soul-destroying. And then the next thing I got, I thought was going to be my big break, and they cut the role. It was only the year that I started auditioning for 'Star Wars' when I really started getting roles.
people
It's one thing for other people to see potential in you, and it's quite another for you to understand that and see it in yourself.
cool enjoy excited fans figures funny magazines people tend wonderful
It's funny because the action figures are cool, and then I enjoy the magazines because that's me. Obviously, the fans are wonderful - they're so excited - but I'm not Rey, and people tend to not be able to differentiate the two.
acting amazing came initially later mom park performing school teacher until
I went to a school called Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. I went because initially I was very naughty, and my mom thought if I was busy, I'd be better. And I didn't really do acting until later on in the school, with an amazing teacher. I left, went traveling, came back.
poet sacked strip work workshop
I was actually sacked from my first job. It was at a workshop for a short film this poet had written, about when she used to work in a strip club. After the first week, I was told not to come back.
loathe
I was kind of loathe to go on social media. I find the trolling unacceptable, and I never wanted to look like I was someone who would accept that.
