I do this acting thing mostly for myself. I like to make a connection and communicate with the audience to make myself feel less lonely. I also do it to develop my own character, so sometimes I do it to just be away in a certain area that I've never been to. But mostly, the story has to do something for me.

i see her (Melisandre) as a fanatic, someone who had a really strong vision of the future and was not prepared to let it go. as we know from history and fiction, nobody we consider to be evil thinks they're evil. look at stuff going on in the world right now. the guys we find scary, they think they're doing the right thing. that's the scariest thing about it. - carice van houten for elle magazine.

Most directors that I've worked with - I've worked with before, especially in Holland - and they know that I'm somebody who talks and asks, and talks, and talks, and talks and questions and turns things around. I'm like a little cat, walking around my little nest until I find my place.
