  • On Game of Thrones being about more than just dragons: "I love that so many women watch the show. If you look at Game of Thrones on face value — blood, tits, dragons, swearwords — you're like, 'Oh, this must be for guys.' But if you take that away, the story lines are fascinating depictions of the struggle for power. And women are in on that conversation."
  • On why Khaleesi is more than just a role to her: "Within the space of time between them saying, 'You've got the part of Khaleesi,' and now, I lost my power. I found it. I lost it. I found it. As a woman — no, as a young adult, you spend your twenties figuring out who you are and what you want to do; it's a scary time. There are days when I feel like the less strong version of myself . . . I know I'm gonna put the f*cking wig on and go out there and let her refulfill me."
