Don't forget me.

Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter. Burnt alive for loving me.

She’s living in a fantasy world.

My life is pretty ludicrous and I feel ridiculous a lot of the time…The impression one gives is that you are a swanlike figure gliding through events and premieres. No one sees the webbed feet flapping away underneath.

You think you’d be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby. I’m it.

Nick loved a girl who doesn’t exist. I was pretending, the way I often did, pretending to have a personality. I can’t help it, it’s what I’ve always done: The way some women change fashion regularly, I change personalities. What persona feels good, what’s coveted, what’s au courant? I think most people do this, they don’t admit it, or else they settle on one persona because they’re too lazy or stupid to pull off a switch.

I had five auditions for the part of Sansa. The first was at my school, and I just took the piss out of it because I’d done auditions before and they’d never gone anywhere. I took the mic, and then I got a call back, and then I auditioned with different actors, and then I got it. I cried when I got the part. I was in France and my mum came in and told me and I was like “Oh my god!” and I jumped into the pool. I was so desperate to get it by the end of the auditioning process. (x)

But you’ll love her till it all goes dark, you’ll love her even after that…

I’ve got a blank space baby and I’ll write your name.

One goes on with the blithe belief that who you really are is transparent to everybody. Then you realise, with some horror, that in fact it’s not. So all you can do is keep muddying the waters a bit.
