I mean, I\u2019ll talk about this, I\u2019m sure, down the road, but like \u2013 I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m allowed to talk about, but I was so nervous the first day of working, like I forgot how to act.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure Shawn Levy\u2019s like, \u2018Amy, are you okay?\u2019 And I\u2019m like \u2018No. I\u2019m just not alright!\u2019 I\u2019m on a Star Wars set, and I, like, grew up on this. I have to now get out of my dorky fangirl place and go into my professional actress [mode], and combining the two was really hard.
