Its nice that people are so worked up about it.
Its fair to say it wasnt a friendly act.
Whatcan you tell us about Melisandres role this season?
The arc of my character is finally going into a different direction.
Its changing and I really like it.
We see her from a really different side of her now.
We see somebody whose whole belief system is tumbling down.
Shes completely confused, and I really like to play that.
After all the security and strength and pride, now we see something completely different.
Ive been really waiting for this moment.
Yes, you might see me go oh fk when Stannis camp is defeated it starts there.
Its nice to play different colors and its something I normally do in the roles I play.
In my own country, I play roles that are more vulnerable sympathetic, anxious and doubtful.
Melisandre is so the opposite.
It was a great challenge for me, but its nice to now put my own into it too.
Also, on the big screen, you recently played the notorious German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl inRace.
Its a beautiful story about Jesse Owens.
[Riefenstahl] is a very fascinating character and I would love to see more of her.
It was such a challenge for me, language wise.
