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.
liked people
I liked 'Star Wars,' but I wasn't an uberfan like many people are.
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.
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.
act both dad
Both my parents are creative. My dad did act when he was younger, but they're both very creative.
famous
I've never been one for crushing on famous people.
admiral influences people remember single though
The thing about 'Star Wars' is that every single person is important. Even though Rey is a big role, everyone influences everyone. If that wasn't so, why would so many people remember Admiral Ackbar?
people romantic
Sadly, people think a guy and a girl can't be friends without something romantic going on.
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.
knowledge trying
My film knowledge is pretty shocking. I'm trying to correct that.
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.
knit quite
I can knit quite well. I make really long scarves.
younger
Carey Mulligan and Felicity Jones are two of my favorites. I'm not so much younger than them. I like that. It's kind of aspirational.
alone early finds group hopeful late left life meet starts teens though
Rey's parents left her at 5, and we meet her when she's late teens or early 20s, and for someone to keep hopeful that there's a better life to come, I think, is astounding. Though she starts off alone, she very much finds her place in a group of people, and that's lovely.
