"That hairdo can never really be repeated without gales of laughter," she said. "I've begged them to put the hair back on in grey and just catch me cooking with the hair, like Granny Leia."

"Why would I keep a stupid outfit like that, so that years later I could say to you I have it?" she said. "No, I wear it on special occasions. I've got it on underneath this. I wear it always, for luck."
