Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) recently spoke with website Cheddar about her new social media app Daisie — an app for up and coming young creators — and discussed what it was like for her to grow up on the show that many credit with ushering in the new Golden Age of Television. “Growing up being an actor, you learn so much, and you grow up very fast, and really figure out the morals that you live by, and people wanna know everything about you, so you kinda got to figure out all that about yourself,” she said. “So I guess I’ve just grown into a well-rounded person very quickly. This last year’s been really interesting with the show coming to an end. So it’s really just a question of how do I want to live my life and the things that I care about.”

Williams also talks about how each of the cast members are always looking for that next gig. “We’re all from such different walks of life, I guess,” she said. “The show is so huge and the different people who play the different characters are from far and wide, and I just think that we’re a real selection of people. Williams recalls in 2016, when the entire cast got on stage as s show of solidarity in excepting the Emmy Award.
When we won the Emmy, it was really funny seeing us on all onstage together, cause we’re just a band of misfits. But we’re a family, and I’m very proud of everyone and all the things they want to do other than the show.
Williams mentions that she’s currently obsessed with The Bachelor?” As if she wasn’t already one of our favorite characters. Watch her whole video interview HERE.
