Daisy Ridley is currently doing press for Sometimes I Think About Dying at Sundance where she was asked during an interview with Variety if she had any advice for any women joining the Star Wars franchise.
“The world is a crazy place,” Ridley said at the Variety Studio, presented by Audible at Sundance. “It’s important to tune out the stuff.”
“Not just with ‘Star Wars,’ but with everything, you try and be in the moment and enjoy what it is because life moves quickly,” Ridley added. “Amandla Stenberg can handle herself. She’s been working for a long time. I sat next to someone at the ‘Wakanda Forever’ premiere, an executive, and they said [‘The Acolyte’] is amazing.”
“Everyone knows how things are and how they can be,” Ridley concluded. “We’re all living in that, with people saying more than they need to and commenting more than they need to. It’s so individual. Find the good in it all and enjoy it.”
Ridley is at Sundance this year with her film “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” in which she plays a depressed cubicle worker whose shaken out of the doldrums of her life by a new office mate.
“I was very nervous,” Ridley said about world premiering the movie in Park City. “I knew we made a good movie, but it was strange. When you know what’s coming, it’s like, ‘How are people going to receive this?’ It was nerve-wracking for me because my storyline is away from the laughs, so I hoped people would still be into it.”
