Williams on auditioning for the role of Arya: "I remember looking around the room at all of these really pretty girls and feeling really scruffy. The audition I'd gone to before, in my screen test they were like, 'We're gonna change your top.' I remember being so humiliated and knowing there was something about me that wasn't right. Before that, I'd auditioned for ballet schools and stuff, with my grubby tights and crooked teeth, and all these stage kids were like they were in an advert. Even that young, I could feel that. But for Arya, it's perfect. That was exactly what they wanted. F*ck you and your perfect smile!"
On the end of Game of Thrones: "What's hit me the most about the show ending isn't the show ending. It's like, I'm free. I can do anything now. It's like a moment where you can just really enjoy everything that you've worked hard for. These last six months, I've really just done that."
