Posted by Star Wars on Monday, 4 April 2016
1. Daisy Is a Big Believer in Fate: "I would say if I could tell my younger self one thing, just keep doing what you're doing, because everything happens for a reason and we all end up where we should," she explained.
2. Using a Lightsaber Is No Easy Feat: When asked what it really feels like to use a Jedi's signature weapon, Ridley says, "You actually feel as epic as you'd think you would feel. They're heavy, so it's difficult. It took a lot of training with our incredible stunt team to make sure we we were wielding them in the right way and not about to hurt anyone. But it feels amazing because they light up. They genuinely are that color."
3. There Was a Work Hard, Play Hard Mentality on Set: The 23-year-old revealed that although herself and co-star John Boyega are the silliest while filming, Carrie Fisher's French bulldog Gary was, "always around getting in people's way, causing a ruckus." She added that Adam Driver even "jumps out at people and shouts thing. That's terrifying!"
4. She's Not Nearly as Handy as Her Character Rey: Daisy shared a hilarious anecdote about a time she was sent a Star Wars Playstation and "had no idea" how to set it up. Turns out, she had it plugged in to the wrong socket the entire time. "It proves I'm in no way mechanical, technological. I can scrub well," she said, before adding, "So I can scrub the thing that I found and then someone else can put it in the thing and make the thing work."
5. Daisy Is in Awe at How Much Her Life Has Changed Since Star Wars: "I obviously haven't wielded a lightsaber before before or been able to be in a film with people I genuinely love and adore and look up to," the actress gushed. "It's just pretty amazing. I've literally seen parts of the world I never thought I'd see at this point in my life."
6. Japan Will Always Have a Special Place in Her Heart: When asked which overseas location was her favorite to travel to, Daisy said, "Japan was really amazing... It was the first place I went to for the press tour. I love the culture. I love the food. Actually, I think that was my first red carpet and I was just so terrified. It was unbelievable."
7. Daisy Counts her Lucky Stars for Her Success: "Luck is like a genuine thing. I know people are like, 'No, no. It's not.' I think luck will make things potentially happen sooner like it did for me, but perseverance will make things happen ultimately."
8. Coffee or Tea? "Tea, but funny enough, my favorite tea is green. I do love green tea with honey...I love coffee, but it makes me very jittery and I'm already a quite jittery person," Ridley said.
9. Daisy Would've Liked to Channel Her Entrepreneurial Side: If she wasn't a movie star, Daisy says she "would like to go to another country and start a business somewhere warm. Perhaps water sports or something that protects conservation."
10. She's in a Completely Different Mindset While Shooting Episode VIII: "Episode VII was like the beginning of the whole thing, and it was terrifying and incredibly rewarding, and I felt like I pushed myself beyond boundaries I thought I had. And now [on Episode VIII], I feel more together and I feel more present," Daisy said. "Now I look at things and think how are people going to react to them because of the way people have responded to Rey. Carrie calls herself the custodian of Leia, and now I feel like the custodian of Rey. I understand what people loved in VII. I'm carrying that responsibility with me."
