“It’s as if after the first part of my life, at age 28, they drew a line under me and tallied it. I had too much personality for one person and not quite enough for two. In Fitzgerald there’s a man who was waiting for events to fill him up – I was waiting for them to drain out of me. There’s a line of Jerry Garcia’s about heroin: ‘It cuts away care.’ I cared very much, and I wanted apathetic indifference. I’m jammed full of my reaction to wherever I am and my need to convey it, to a degree that is unsettling. That is what propels me, and it’s constant; whether it’s positive or negative, it’s extreme.”  – Carrie Fisher

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have a right to have an opinion because I’m not a writer, I’m not whatever, but it’s important. Especially because I know the effect Rey had on people and the sort-of direction Rey is going in the story of Star Wars and onwards the depiction of women in cinema and across the board. I think it is important to understand that and to have an input into where that’s going.

People often recognise me, sure, but not so often that it actually bothers me. Nowadays I’ve even gone back to travelling by Tube. I avoided it when the film came out and the hype was at its peak, but now things have got back to normal. Perhaps that’s just how it goes in London, where I live and where people are busy worrying about their own stuff.

I like playing someone who wasn’t cautious, who was in the moment and made impulsive decisions, which is what attracted me to her in the first place. I think you’re attracted to things that are different from yourself in a character because it’s more interesting, and you get to play out a fantasy version of yourself.

Storytelling is the way we build our identity as human beings. Which memories do we choose to tell when we tell our life story? Which things do we choose as important, how we do connect them to make a meaningful arc? And we choose those. We choose to say whether the barbeque last week was an important event or a parent’s death is a turning point. What are the meaningful formative moments in your story?
