"Game of Thrones" Star Sophie Turner Waves Her Stark Flag & Defends Sansa

I'm here with the amazing, amazingly talented Sophie Turner.

You're amazing. You really are. It's such a young age. Yeah. You really really have blown audiences away all over the world. Including me. I was like, I've not had many wow moments on this sofa.

Is this a wow moment?

This is a wow moment. She's Look, you've had Billy Bob Thornton on this sofa. Watch my expressions. Go through them. Watch my expressions. James Franco. Cameron Diaz. Justin Timberlake. Billy Bob Thornton. Sophie Turner. Game of Thrones. It's huge. It's massive. And obviously you had no idea. You I mean you're young now, but you were even younger when this started going into a project like this.

Yeah. I was 13. A little baby. 13. I had no idea. I didn't know what Game of Thrones was, I didn't know what HBO was. So I was just like, "Yeah, give it a go." I auditioned for it at my school. Wow. And I I was like messing around with the the audition cuz I was like, "This isn't going to go anywhere." And I was with my friends and stuff so it was like a joke audition. I didn't even tell my mom.

And you Were you familiar with the books cuz obviously everyone knows it's based off a series of books.

Yeah, no, I'm not familiar with those. Probably a good thing.

Probably a good thing.

Probably a good thing. At 13 I don't think I should have been reading those.

Shouldn't be reading them. Shouldn't be reading them. Yeah. Yeah, they definitely push the push the barriers. You do. Yeah. And saying that, how in advance do you get your scripts?

Sometimes you get them like a month before, which is nice. But one time we got them like two days before we started shooting. They come. They come um eventually. You just like you're Santa

Poor Sansa is on this whirlwind of depression, really. Yeah. She's been depressed from like midway through season one onwards. Right. I don't even want to ask if you can relate cuz I hope that you can't.

I can totally relate, no.

Oh, no. So true. Poor Sophie.

No. I know. No, it's um it's interesting cuz I don't normally cry every day in normal life. So it's fun to go on set and release some tension.

Okay. That's good. That's good. Who doesn't? I don't know, maybe I'm building up some

You do it so well. That's great then. Thanks.

Must be stressed out in your normal life to be able to describe it like that. You must be incredibly depressed.

Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy.

Is it weird for you from do do you listen to the fans? Obviously, obviously you listen to the fans, but in the beginning you weren't liked. Just to just to break it to you. Sorry, Sophie, but

Trust me, I wasn't like, yeah.

You weren't liked, yeah. I didn't like you either.

You didn't?

No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I refused to do this interview three years ago. Um, no, I'm kidding. Yeah, so this was great. No, this was fine. You know, people people like you now. Was that a weird transition going through that at such a young age as well cuz you're I don't know.

I it was definitely weird when I started out because I really liked the character so I couldn't understand why people didn't like her. But my theory is is that, right, she's a 13-year-old girl, this is my rant. This is where I start.

Take it away.

She Listen, people. She's a 13-year-old girl who's been put in this situation where she can have everything she wants, that she's ever dreamed of, and she's forced to like in like the second episode she's forced to make a decision between like her family and everything she's ever wanted. And she basically says like, she doesn't choose. She's like, "I didn't see what happened." Uh, which is pretty admirable, I think if like, you know. Yeah, it's nice. She tried to save her father by pleading with the king. He gets his head cut off. People blame her. I don't know why. She's 13. It's harsh. It's harsh. I think people just hate her because they see their own faults in her.

Right. That's a good way to put it, very smart. So you're basically saying that I saw my own faults in myself. You are the typical 13-year-old girl. Ouch. Ouch. I won't wrap this up just yet. Um Is it true cuz some facts in Hollywood aren't true. Is it true that you adopted the dog that's the wolf on the show?

This is true. Yeah. I love that dog. Yeah, she's at home with me. She's called Zunni.

Amazing. Yeah. Amazing. That's great.

But she was like she the reason we kind of adopted her was because um she was um a really bad actress. She's a dog. She didn't do what she was told.

She's a dog. What more do you expect? So you Is that why they killed the dog off?

Some of the other dogs were really good. That wasn't the main reason, but they stopped employing her from then on.

Oh wow, that's harsh. Yeah. And you were like, "It's fine, I'm earning enough money for the both of us." Go home with me.

I don't know about that.

Yeah, okay. But it's amazing. You're doing amazing things, and uh it's been this whirlwind whirlwind in Hollywood. A whirlwind in Hollywood, indeed. But it's it's worth it. Sophie Turner, we're watching you on Game of Thrones. We're glad that you're not dying.

Thanks, me too.

Flying that stark flag. High. Flying it high.
