(on how her and co-star from Game of Thrones get along)Sophie Turner: We spent so much time together, you might expect us to get bored of each other or get a bit cranky but we never do. We have such a fun time. The other day Maisie actually came over to my house to spend the weekend with me. We did normal things: We went bowling, we rented a few films, we went shopping, the normal girly things.
(on how the fans respond to her Game of Thrones character Sansa0Sophie Turner: I think the fans of the books and of the television show are angry at her. People who haven't dug deep enough into the character can't really see the good intentions in Sansa's decisions
(on her Game of Throne's character Sansa)Sophie Turner: She's a complete romantic and lives in a fantasy world. She just wants to be the girl that her father and her mother expect her to be. She just wants to make her family proud, and her good intentions can be manipulated, mainly by Joffrey. I think she's very immature for her age and she needs a wake-up call.
