“I suppose I feel more like I’m owning it. I suppose I owned it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now. I certainly did not feel like an adult at the time. Obviously, personally, things have changed, and professionally, I’ve had lots of other experiences, and so I definitely feel like it’s a different thing this time. There’s just a lot of joy with me and these films. Honestly, if I wasn’t excited, I wouldn’t have done it. It feels like a great thing to be a part of.” —for Empire Magazine, about playing Rey again
Happy Birthday Daisy Ridley!

"I'd get up at like four in the morning. I'd write for about four or five hours. She'd come in, read what I'd written. She'd tell me what was good, what was bad. And we kind of pieced it together, the two of us, in a little barn in the countryside. And then it's just grown from there. I'm incredibly proud of it." "It's one of the most rewarding experiences. Daisy is one of my favorite actors and being able to write to what I know her strengths are was so rewarding because I could be really daring and bold and write a whole scene, no dialogue, just her character's thoughts. Sam, our director, agreed. He said, 'man, you could just stick a camera on Daisy and she's got it going and she can hold that.' So it was super rewarding."

"The night we found out we got into this festival, I was shooting a film in England with a great script and a director that I love. It was all so overwhelming. And my husband had just been cast in a film he just did. And I was having this overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy and wonder. I sent my agent this hilarious voice note crying my eyes out. I was like, 'All I wanted to do was be a working actor and it's happening.' So that was a wonderful moment. I feel like the thing is, you always feel like, 'Is this going to last? Is this going to be okay?' So those moments of real wonder and joy and being able to just go, 'Okay, I'm working.' Yeah, that was a great day."

"I initially had the idea of the film. So we were very much— Tom was doing the writing and we were doing lots of the discussing along the way. But what was great is we did sort of a feedback screening when were through with the edit and just wanted to get a feel for how other people were feeling about it. And the reaction was so good. So I'm very looking forward to seeing it with an audience tonight."
—Daisy Ridley about premiering her self-produced film Magpie, written by her husband Tom Bateman, at Day 2 of SXSW

"We did one without [a kiss]. Hilariously, Adam had to wrap and literally got up from that scene, which was so emotional and everything, and was like, 'Bye guys! I'm going to New York.' I feel like we all— it felt earned. And what was interesting again is intentionality. My feeling in that moment was it was a goodbye. So that felt earned. Because you can call a kiss a thousand things, but I felt it was a goodbye. And that whole scene felt so emotional. I felt I was saying goodbye to the job. And then, actually, we had to pick-up something that was missed. So on my very, very last day — and we were doing various pick-ups and stuff — I had to literally sit and look when the camera was coming away from me, and I guess I was looking at him [Ben]. J.J. [Abrams] was like, 'you good?' Literally, immediately started crying my eyes out because it really felt like goodbye."
—Daisy Ridley on her last scene with Adam Driver in The Rise of Skywalker

"It's a good problem to have. I feel really like — and it probably sounds fake, but it's not — I feel really lucky. The stuff that I'm doing, I felt, is interesting and I've worked with such different filmmakers and a job is a job is a job. So if I love the script and and I love the story it's going to be great. And it will probably be different people, I imagine. I don't know if it's the same or different — crew-wise, cast-wise. It's all a sort of adventure. It's a good thing. It was like I was always thrilled to be part of it, even when it's divisive. I feel generally people are good. And I feel people are are receptive and interested. And honestly if it wasn't a story worth telling I wouldn't be doing it. But I was like, 'ohhh.' It's a fun direction."
—Daisy Ridley on Happy, Sad, Confused about the new Rey film

do you watched murder at orient express and ophelia?
Hello Anon! Thanks for the ask.
Yes, I've watched both Murder on the Orient Express and Ophelia. I actually really enjoyed both. She's done so many period pieces, it's interesting how only now she's doing films set in current times.
I do hope, like Tom, she works with Sir Kenneth Branagh again at some point. I know he loves inviting cast and crew back when he enjoyed working with them and it seems like they both had a good experience.
It's interesting to watch those earlier movies and see how she's only grown as an actor since then 💜

“I feel greatly for people who don’t see their own worth — who think, like Fran, that their lives are not that interesting. They are fucking interesting. We all feel, to a certain extent, like everything has to be fireworks for anything to be valid. It’s obviously not true. There’s beauty in talking about someone who’s okay that her life isn’t full of fireworks because she likes it like that... We’re all fighting something that other people can’t see, and meeting people with kindness and grace and warmth is really the most any of us can do. It’s really uncomfortable, being human. A lot of the time, it’s really fucking hard. But, ultimately, to try is to succeed.”

"It's also funny because I was talking to Zak [Hilditch, director of We Bury the Dead] and he was like, 'you know we're making this film in 25 days.' I was like, 'Zak, we did Sometimes I Think About Dying in 21 and I did Magpie in 22 or 23.' I'm like, 'I'm good.' I love a shoot where you're like, this is what we can do when everyone is so on board and the communication is so good and everyone knows what is required. There's just something so wonderful about being able to work in a very on-your-feet sort of malleable way."

"Not everyone is going to love everything you do. How you receive things is very personal. I don't have much to do with that side of things because I'm just doing my job. But I loved making all three films and I'm very happy to get to do it again."

"This [Sometimes I Think About Dying] was also a really good experience in how to achieve so much with very limited money and very limited time, when you're thoughtful, everyone clubs together, and it's very intentional... And Magpie is that. So it's very exciting... I play a woman who is sort of pushed very much beyond her limits... It's about perspective and about fantasy vs. reality. There's a delicious twist and it's a thriller."
—Daisy Ridley about her self-produced original film Magpie Magpie will have its world premiere at SXSW 2024!

"I'm sent different sorts of things, so being able to do something like Sometimes I Think About Dying... is wonderful. In the past two years I think I've made four or five films and they've all been very different. I'm very happy that I've been able to do different things with different people in different sort of worlds... When I met with Kathy and she asked me about doing another [Star Wars film], I was surprised. But I love the story they've come up with... I don't know all of it, but I feel very excited about it. If I didn't I would have honestly said, 'I'm good.' But I'm very excited to see the script."
—Daisy Ridley on Clique TV talking about Sometimes I Think About Dying and the upcoming Rey film

"I had a breakfast with Kathy [Kennedy] that I thought was just breakfast. And then it was mentioned, so I thought about it. I loved the story, and I was like, “OK.” Things then happened quite quickly, and it felt like I was instantaneously on a stage being introduced by Sharmeen. It honestly took me back to being 20 or 21, however old I was, when [Star Wars: The Force Awakens] was announced. I was petrified, I was overwhelmed, I was really nervous but the response was really wonderful. And I’m genuinely really excited about the next one. I haven’t read anything, but I know the story. It’s really worth telling, worth exploring, and I think people will be excited."

"It was raining harder now, and Rey lingered under the Falcon, looking out in wonder and occasionally extending a hand so she could feel the rain splashing in her palm. Water had been precious on Jakku, bartered and hoarded and fought over, and its gleeful abundance here still felt like a miracle." —The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition
