Zitat des Tages von Kelly Marie Tran:
I think a lot of times, in a lot of modern-day movies, a lot of things are CGI, but so much of the stuff in 'Star Wars' is built and created by these artists.
I feel like 'The Last Jedi' is a lot of things that people aren't going to expect, which I think is a good thing.
A lot of 'Star Wars' fans who are specifically Asian never had a character they could dress up like, or they would, and people would always call them 'Asian Rey' or 'Asian fill-in-the-blank.'
You get the initial script, and then things sort of change here and there, but the whole thing is this sort of mushy collaboration, which I love.
I think anytime you go into anything that's different and new, there's a bit of fear.
It never felt like we were making a 'Star Wars' movie. It didn't feel like it was serious. It just felt like we were allowed to be creative and kind of goof off.
I think, as an actor, you create things for your character that you think will make it more personal to you, because on the day, you want to make sure that you're truly there in the moment.
I believe if you can have an open dialogue about anything, whether it's a book or a movie or TV show, it's this door that suddenly opens your mind to new ideas.
I feel like I'm always talking about myself, and I love not talking about myself.
I never want to forget that I'm doing an impossible thing. How rare is it that you get to be part of something people love? It's really special. It's a very out-of-body experience to be a part of something so huge.
My dad was a street kid for seven years - he was homeless.
I eventually want to write and direct and produce my own stuff.
Even if someone doesn't like it, or just likes it for me, storytelling has been the one true love story of my entire life.
When you're really young, you tend to fall in love with characters. If you start seeing the same type of character everywhere and realize that they don't look like you, or they don't speak like you, you start wanting to change who you are. That's something that I did when I was a young kid.
So much of me is because of what my parents experienced in this country. So much of me is because of the things my parents overcame so that I could have the luxury of having a dream.
In terms of the timeline, 'The Force Awakens' came out in December of 2015. I got the role in November of 2015. I was auditioning and waiting to hear back when their marketing machine was everywhere. It's like you're going for something that's so high stakes, and you try to remind yourself, 'Okay, stop thinking about it,' and it's everywhere.
Even though 'Star Wars' takes place in another galaxy, a lot of the themes and things that characters deal with in terms of lessons that they're learning are things that are completely relatable to real life.
I still just sort of live my life the way that I was before. I don't know when I will feel that it's different.
I'm totally pro-porg! I would not eat a porg. They're so cute; you can't eat them. They're friends!
I was not on social media for a really long time because I was afraid of being seen.
