What are your biggest struggles while on the set of the show Game of Thrones?

Very long hours. Because I love to sleep. I like sleeping more than most of my siblings. So staying awake and working long, long hours is very difficult.

Have you had one of those “I can’t stop laughing” moments on the GOT set? If so, what was so funny?

The one time was in series 3, episode 8, when I was supposed to laugh anyway – when Arya cracked up laughing at the news of her dead aunt – and I was watching funny videos on my phone, so I giggled endlessly, and they liked it, and so did the audience.

At what point did you realize that Game of Thrones was becoming a huge deal?

Season 3. At the season 3 premiere, we went to the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and stepping out of the car, with hundreds of people screaming my name, is when I realized that this show completely changed my life. It was very, very daunting – I found it quite scary – but it happened gradually, so I had time to get used to it.

Hi Maisie, thanks for doing this AMA. What’s been the biggest change in your life since starting Game of Thrones? Also, which cast member is most like their character on the show?
