[Link] 'Game of Thrones' Star Maisie Williams on Arya Stark's Trial by Fire | Rolling Stone
She obviously has family on her mind in this episode. But when she tells Gendry “I can be your family,” it sounds like she might mean something very different – even if she herself barely realizes it yet.
When I first read that scene, it really got to me. I always knew that Arya and Gendry were going to take separate paths, but when you actually see it… I was really getting on well with Joe [Dempsie], and it was just like “Oh, this is going to end now.” Then you go in do it. At first I read it as “You can come to Winterfell, I’ll show you how everything goes, and you can come and sit at the table with us.” I thought it would be a bit like Theon. But when I was doing the scene, [director] Alex Graves said “When you say that last line, ‘I can be your family,’ say it like ‘I love you.’” And that’s the take that they used. On the day, we didn’t cut in between. We kept going, and going, and going again, which I really liked; otherwise, you get out of it and you have to try and build yourself back up to that point again. Sometimes I was really crying, and then we’d pull it back. I don’t know how many we did, but the last one we did…We settled on the one when I said it like “I love you,” and it really works.I interviewed the amazing Maisie Williams about last weekend’s episode for Rolling Stone. When she said that part about “I love you” I gasped aloud.
I headpasted glasses onto Joe Dempsie because of reasons.
glasses make everyone +10 sexier lbr

Arya bit her lip. She remembered what Yoren had said, the day he had hacked off her hair. This lot, half o’ them would turn you over to the queen quick as spit for a pardon and maybe a few silvers. The other half’d do the same, only they’d rape you first.
Only Gendry was different, the queen wanted him too.

Gendry, Talisa and Loras.
I really can’t emphasize how much I geek out when the GoT cast hangs out together.

Who would GoT stars choose for their Hand?
Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) I think possibly I would go with somebody like Nietzsche. Somebody who was really a philosopher, a good advisor, a guider… But I would probably fight with him nonstop.
Robb Stark (Richard Madden) - My dad is pretty smart. I think he’d have my back. Yeah, keep it in the family. I’d put my dad there and keep an eye on what he’s doing.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington) - I’d have my brother Jack probably. He probably would try to steal the throne from me actually, but I think if anyone’s going to try to steal it off of me, I’d want it to be him. And he’s an inherently a good person so I think he’d rule the kingdoms quite well.
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) - I would have to pick my mom because she gives me good advice all the time, as I’m growing up. I think she’s been a brilliant Hand of the Queen.
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) - I’d want someone funny, someone a bit like Bronn, a comedian maybe. I really like Lee Evans actually. He’s kind of my same humor and does a lot of impressions that are funny, so yeah, probably Lee Evans.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) - If I were on the Iron Throne and I had to choose a Hand, I would want Tyrion. He seems to have every angle covered. But assuming I can’t have a Westerosi character, I would choose Sigmund Freud. He could get to work on Joffrey and Cersei’s complex relationship, and I would get Joffrey an electric guitar and lessons from Metallica as he needs to channel his blistering fury into something less psychopathic.
Jaime Lannister (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau) - If I were on the Iron Throne, I’d call my sister and say, “You want to be queen?”
Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony) - I’d like to first point out that I’ve never sat on the Iron Throne set or otherwise. But if I were to sit on it, I would choose my best mate Don, who when I was at school, we were in prefects together. And he was a wonderful, wonderful right-hand man. I think he’d be brilliant at it.
Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) - It would be Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger, definitely. You know not to trust him, but he’d be a brilliant operator for you.
Ygritte (Rose Leslie) - The novelist Georgette Heyer wrote my favorite book, These Old Shades. In the book, there’s a character called the Duke of Avon. He’s a seriously cool character, very slick. I think I’d have to go for him. I love him. I love reading that book over and over.
Gendry (Joe Dempsie) - I would pick legendary soccer manager Brian Clough who managed a football team that I support in the late ’70s and ’80s. He was quite a character and took no prisoners. One of his most famous quotes was when someone asked him if he as the best manager in the country. He said, “I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the country, but I’m in the Top 1.” Michael Sheen played him in a film years ago called The Damned United.
Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon) - If I could choose somebody to be my Hand to the King it would probably be, if he were alive, Peter Sellers. There you go. Peter Sellers, before he did Dr. Strangelove and went insane.
Irri (Amrita Acharia) - I was thinking of a superhero. Let’s have Wonder Woman. She’d be by my side, she’d be my mentor, why not?
Note: I have no idea why TV Guide paired Wonder Woman with a pic of Peter Dinklage. It should be with this gorgeous woman:
can we all just take a moment to appreciate Issac’s answer. He’s obviously THOUGHT about this a bit more than the others.
