It’s one thing for other people to see potential in you, and it’s quite another for you to understand that and see it in yourself.
Rey is so strong. She’s cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to. That they don’t have to show off their bodies.

“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)

“I went to a school called Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. I went because initially I was very naughty, and my mom thought if I was busy, I’d be better. And I didn’t really do acting until later on in the school, with an amazing teacher. I left, went traveling, came back. And then it all kind of went from there.”
