dad great hugely popular uncle
My great uncle was in 'Dad's Army.' And I don't know if Americans will know that. It was a hugely popular show in England.
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.
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.'
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.

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.
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.
Goals are ever-changing. I didn't set out to be in a 'Star Wars' film but now I've been in one.
I actually wanted to be a zookeeper when I was 5.
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.
