Playing Arya will be the most defining thing I ever do, and now it’s done. It was my first role. So much of what I know about this world is in Arya and I can’t imagine anything that will be as precious to me as Arya is—was. God, that’s sombre. I’ll always keep a piece of Arya with me. I know where my bar is now, and I don’t feel like I ever want to go any lower than that.

Happy 23rd Birthday Margaret Constance Williams

“People tell you what you what you should and shouldn’t do. ‘Oh Maisie shouldn’t be wearing this.’ Why? Would you say that about a guy? No. I have so many interesting things that I want to communicate and you’re talking about my shoes? That’s ridiculous.”

Happy 23rd birthday, Margaret Constance “Maisie” Williams! (April 15th, 1997)

“I’m never going to do something that I don’t want to do, because I’ve been given the opportunity to not have to do that.”

Happy 23rd Birthday, Margaret Constance “Maisie” Williams, April 15th, 1997

“There are a lot of roles that come in that are ‘the girlfriend’ or ‘the hot piece’ in a movie or TV series. That’s something I’ve seen first-hand and read all the time. It will say ‘Derek: intelligent, good with kids, funny, really good at this’ and then it will say ‘Sandra: hot in a sort of cute way’ — and that’s all you get. That’s the way your character is described, so going into an audition you are channeling ‘hot’, which isn’t like a person, that’s not who a person is.”

You’ve probably seen a lot of people posting a picture captioned “until tomorrow” and basically I liked the one @jessybarden posted so I had to post an embarrassing picture of myself for 24hrs with no explanation. To be quite honest I find most (all) pictures of myself embarrassing because I have really low self esteem. So I posted this picture ^ which for me highlights all of my insecurities and makes me feel pretty embarrassed. Although you and I both know I could have found a picture that was far more embarrassing for me, the point is, I even struggle with a picture as ordinary as this. I’m trying my absolute best to stop being like that because being mean to yourself is such a waste of time/life/energy so instead of deleting this after 24hrs, I’m gonna leave it up as a reminder to myself of how I really look and that it’s completely okay to look like this. Thanks for all the nice comments, I was honestly pretty blown away. 2020 is for lifting yourself uppppp💚💖
