You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
It's been a lot of fun getting to work with Tracy Middendorf, who plays my mom. As an actor, it's always fun to have different parents and to create different familial dynamics than you have in your real life.
You feel an affinity with younger actors, because, you know, it's a very insecure job. And it can be a long time before you feel like, you know, things might be all right.
There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.
I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.
I always feel for the younger cast members in 'Game of Thrones.' They're really clever and smart.
Maybe I'm a better actor when I know there's going to be an older woman involved.
My mother is a hardcore actor's actor. She's not a celebrity. She really isn't... And so her main concern was that I not fall into the auditioning-is-my-life syndrome.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
I don't cast somebody that I think is like my younger self.
