“No. If I loved partying it would be more of a concern, but I am the most boring person. I would prefer to stay in and watch Bake Off. You see people say, ‘I didn’t ask for this,’ but I completely see what this film might mean to young girls, and of course I take responsibility for that. I want people to realise the possibilities are endless. If I had a younger sister, I would think it was great that I could show her The Force Awakens and Rey, someone who’s not sexualised, not in a gold bikini, not born into privilege, just a person who finds herself on a crazy adventure and exceeds all expectations, including her own. The female audience of Star Wars is underestimated, but I have met so many female fans. And I hope there are more, encouraged by Rey.” ─ Daisy Ridley in response to “Are you worried about being seen as a role model?“(x)
