“I always felt as if I were looking out of this enormous melon-shaped head at a world that I couldn’t manage. But whether or not I could manage the world, I could describe it, I could comment on it. I might not be able to escape from reality, but I certainly had something to say about it. I remember writing in my journal when I was working on Star Wars – I was nineteen at the time – ‘I narrate a life I am reluctant to live.’ I’ve always felt that way.”

For me my first memory of Carrie was when I was 11 years old. Very new to the film industry, never been on a film set before, but what Carrie did was just made the whole experience to me fun. It wasn’t intimidating, it wasn’t daunting in any way it was just fun. And, you know being inside the ewok costume you get very hot and I remember every time I took the head off Carrie would be there checking on I was okay. She had chocolate milk and cookies. You know, whenever she thought I needed. And she kinda became a very sort of on-set mother figure. Yeah, I just remember her humour, just making the whole experience fun. — Warwick Davis
