emotional herself hunger incredible jennifer lawrence love people playing protects reason represents runs wonderful
So many people look up to Jennifer Lawrence playing Katniss in 'The Hunger Games.' For them to look up to Rey and what she represents would be fantastic. She's a wonderful character... The reason I love her so much is she does all the fun stuff. She fights, runs and protects herself and has an incredible emotional story.
alone amazing brave encounters incredibly relationships sees starts woman
I can tell you that Rey is an incredibly brave young woman who starts off alone and encounters Finn, and they go on an amazing adventure, and she makes relationships she never could have imagined, and she sees things she never could have imagined.
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.
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.
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.
Goals are ever-changing. I didn't set out to be in a 'Star Wars' film but now I've been in one.
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.'
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.
became life sort structured therapy training
It became my solace. Because it's the only thing structured in my life right now. Training is sort of a therapy session, I guess.
I actually wanted to be a zookeeper when I was 5.
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.
people
Maybe I should pretend like I'm not insecure, but I really am. This movie is going to come out and... will people like it? Will they like Rey?
