Maisie Williams Covers The New Issue Of The Telegraph

Maisie Williams is on the cover of the new issue of The Telegraph. The young actress is on the cover to promote all of her new projects debuting, including New Mutants. Highlights from her interview are below.

On choosing roles after playing Arya on Game Of Thrones: “For me now it’s all about variety. I want to work on things that feel different, exciting and fresh. I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again, because there are so many different opportunities in film-making. I want to experience them all.”

On getting into acting: “I was such an attention seeker, I just always wanted to goof around with my family and make them laugh. When I first started doing auditions, I went on the train from Bristol up to London, and when it stopped at Reading I would cry. I would cry until we got to Paddington, and then I’d be fine. The pressure was so much, I’d cry and think, ‘I don’t want to do it, I don’t want to go in.’ Then I’d do the audition and have the best time ever.”

On her future: “I do have a bit of a plan for the first time. Through my whole career I haven’t set any goals, and it’s been fine, but recently I’ve been like, ‘OK, let’s try and manipulate this situation we’re in and nail down some things I want to do.’ It’s been really helpful, even from a mental health perspective, feeling like there’s some sort of direction. I’m not just floating through the world and waiting to see. Now I’ve got an idea.”
