"It seems now so strange that anyone could want to derail a woman who's determined and has a joy and a passion and wants to do this thing. I think that's what I loved most about playing Trudy, is there's so much joy. There's so much joy in her, and I also wanted to make sure that we were telling a story about someone that simply wanted to do something! She wasn't thinking about her impact on the world; she just loved swimming. I didn't want to give that any other reasoning except for her own want. That joy was great, because I haven't played that as much in the roles that I've done before."

"He seemed like he wasn't fully gone. Like a part of him was still there, like he was lost, scared... He looked at me. Right at me. He seemed more than just nerve endings, more than a chicken without its head. If Mitch is like that—" "—Then what?"

"I feel like my love of characters comes from reading. I was always a bookworm and my film knowledge is a lot more extensive now, but as a child and then a teenager and still now— I am so wrapped up in reading and so focused. It's really my biggest love in a sort of creative sense, I think. And so much of that is picturing it as I'm reading. I think a lot of my love of acting comes from reading and the sort of visual understanding of what's going on, or the visual interpretation I have of what I'm reading... Particularly over the last few years, in the acting way, I feel like the calmer I feel in my personal life I enjoy acting even more than I did. And I've always loved it. I feel so sort of grounded in my life that going to work is so joyful to me... I just love being at work. I just love acting. I love being around films. So it's been something that continues to grow. And now, I think I'm shooting in a few months. I cannot wait to get back on set. I'm really happy that I still feel so much love for it... [My love of acting] is something that has sort of changed over time and so much of that I do think was reading." —for Life in Film Podcast, about breaking into acting

Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!

"I think I have grown, I have aged, I am more comfortable in myself, I suppose, than I was in my early twenties— because early twenties there's a lot going on; we're all just trying to figure out who we are. So I don't think I have [changed], but I must have. I would hope that I have, honestly, in ten years I would hope that I have. I would hope that every job I've done I've become better. I feel like I'm, over the last few years— again, I suppose, in a way where you just feel a little bit more comfortable in your own skin — I feel like I'm more cognizant of my choices. And I was always very empowered by my agent, always. And I think over the last few years the stuff I've got to do has been really cool and interesting. But I feel like I've always strived for my own best I suppose is the best way of saying it. I've always strived for that. And I'm always curious and I'm always open. And I think honestly at the root of it I just f*cking love film. I love films, I love performances. It always has been so exciting to me about embarking on a new thing, and terrifying, too. But what something can be and the people you're going to meet and the actors you get to work with and the directors you get to work with, it feels like an ever expanding thing. And so I suppose in that way my acting world feels bigger and bigger and bigger each job I do." —for Backstage, about looking back over the 10 years since The Force Awakens premiered

Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!

“I suppose I feel more like I’m owning it. I suppose I owned it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now. I certainly did not feel like an adult at the time. Obviously, personally, things have changed, and professionally, I’ve had lots of other experiences, and so I definitely feel like it’s a different thing this time. There’s just a lot of joy with me and these films. Honestly, if I wasn’t excited, I wouldn’t have done it. It feels like a great thing to be a part of.” —for Empire Magazine, about playing Rey again

Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!
