Maisie Williams Covers The May Issue Of NYLON Magazine

Maisie Williams is on the cover of NYLON magazine. The young actress is on the cover of the May issue to promote the new season of Game Of Thrones. Highlights are below.

On her online presence: “Online, I used to [present] a version of myself that was very clean and neat, and then I thought, ‘What’s the point?’ That’s the worst role model to be—to be someone else. Being perfect is a bit disheartening. Life’s too short and I want to inspire people to have fun and not take life too seriously. And if that means I make mistakes and say the wrong thing, then so be it. That’s kind of what being young and growing up is about. I’m learning like everyone else.”

On what her role is Game Of Thrones has taught her: “I’m so grateful that the first job I ever landed taught me to never take a role that was ‘less’. I’ve had the opportunity to play a lot of actors’ dream role—I don’t want to ever settle.”

On how she stay grounded in the industry: “I have a really great group of people around me who I trust 100 percent. They are very honest and let me be who I want to be, and nurture that rather than giving me a personality. It’s easy to let yourself take off, but I am so in love with my life, everyone at home, and the life I used to have that I have no intention of changing.”
