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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
act both dad
Both my parents are creative. My dad did act when he was younger, but they're both very creative.
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.
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.
