I thought you were so wonderful as Irri -- I'm really going to miss your character. She had such a great relationship with Daenarys. I was a little disappointed to see her role end so early in the storyline.

What was it like filming on location in Ireland and Italy? Which did you prefer? And did you spend a lot of time with Emilia and Roxanne off set to get to know each other?

I just want to thank you for maintaining what I consider two of the most beautiful places in the world. My brother first took me to the Getty when I was a little girl and I was so awestruck by the immense number of art and historical artifacts. Even in my adulthood, I am left speechless every time I visit. Then when I visited the Villa for the first time, I couldn't believe how such an accurate and authentic Italian Villa could be in the middle of Malibu. What the Getty Trust does is so vitally important, and I hope you are able to continue this legacy for my children and my children's children.

Could you tell us a little about your approach to writing/writing habits? Do you carve out time daily to write, or do you wait for inspiration to strike?

Oryx and Crake was eye-opening to me ... then I read The Handmaid's Tale and realized your works weren't so far off from reality. Thank you for molding my youth, and writing women who fought.
