I am a simple person that likes to operate on a low level. I am quite introverted. People always assume with my relationship with Anthony that naturally I must be the extrovert and he the introvert, but it is actually the other way round, because he is a director who feeds off people, he likes socialising, being around people, whereas I am very happy being with the dog on my own, reading a book, or going three days without seeing someone. I like my own company. I need quiet, because when I am on set or rehearsal, I do have high energy, so I need calm and quiet and to be a human being that is removed from my job.

I trust myself. I trust my instincts. I know what I’m gonna do, what I can do, what I can’t do. I’ve been through a lot, and I could go through more, but I hope I don’t have to.

I don’t mind if the character is a small character, but I would just like her to have a journey in the film. Sometimes the characters are just there as a prop to further the man’s story. The great directors I’ve talked to, I’ve said listen, I don’t mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end that’s different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s just like being a prop.

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.
