Daisy Ridley on ‘Sometimes I Think About Dying’ and Her ‘Worthwhile’ Return to ‘Star Wars’: The ‘Idea Is Cool As S—’

variety.com:

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Daisy Ridley spent her 20s on film sets, fighting Siths as Rey in the “Star Wars” trilogy and ironing out her alibi in Kenneth Branagh’s whodunit “Murder on the Orient Express.” So the actor marveled at experiencing the mundanity of office life in the indie drama “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” which premiered at last year’s Sundance and debuts in theaters on Jan.

26. She plays Fran, a lonely clerical worker whose morbid daydreams are more comforting than the world around her. “I’m quite lucky to work on films in different countries.

My job is pretty fucking cool,” she says of her own life. “So, I did enjoy being in an office for a moment.” I was like, ‘People talk about water cooler moments.’ This is the water cooler!” Ridley spoke to Variety about her first time as a producer on “Sometimes I Think About Dying” and stepping back into Rey’s Jakku desert garb for another “Star Wars” adventure (and before you ask — no, she doesn’t know when the new installment goes into production). Your character in “Sometimes I Think About Dying” doesn’t have much dialogue.

Was the challenging? I’ve never played anyone who talks loads. So, strangely, it wasn’t even a consideration of mine.
