Multiculturalism is usually spoken about in abstract terms by white middle class commentators, and debated in headlines as a philosophical question. It’s not as often explored as a reality, on a human level, with all its complexities, by the people who that term concerns the most. For us it’s just life, it’s not a label or political approach to be debated. Debating multiculturalism is like debating whether or not people like me should exist.

Tell me a little bit about the character you play.

What does Star Wars mean to you?

It’s never easy to lose such a vital, irreplaceable member of the family, but this is downright heartbreaking. Carrie was one-of-a-kind who belonged to us all- whether she liked it or not. She was OUR Princess, damn it, & the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fiercely independent & ferociously funny, take-charge woman who took our collective breath away. Determined & tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her & want her to succeed & be happy. She played such a crucial role in my professional & personal life, & both would have been far emptier without her. I am grateful for the laughter, the wisdom, the kindness & even the bratty, self-indulgent crap my beloved space-twin gave me through the years. Thanks Carrie. I love you, mh
