Quotes
The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there when we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me.
I feel less blonde now and, er, smarter!
There's no point having an 18th birthday in America.
Do you know that on all the sets I've been on, nobody has ever made a pass at me?
I know for a fact the work is going to dry up, and people will get bored of me. That's not bitterness, just the truth.
