re was a number of times I was like, “Why are you giving me that te?” While I am quite consistently a “How can I help?” kind of person, re were a few moments where I was like, “Don’t tell me what to do with my girl. I kw what to do!” It’s like Daenerys’s calling card became cold expressionlessness. I always wanted to infuse that with some humanity because one’s consistently like that. I would sometimes fight back a little: “I get that she has to be steely and unforgiving and a powerful force. But in this moment she’s also a goddam human being. So I’m going to give you that and I really pray that you take that in edit."
