What I am interested in is family dramas and why we are doing bad things to each other and what our motives are.

		When I became a mother of two, I decided to work with brands that remind me of family because they're my No. 1 priority.

		'Thrones' would be the perfect platform to send a progressive message because right now, our politicians aren't telling us any truths. It's hard to find a good, meaningful message, so I think it's up to storytellers, television shows, and films to have an impact on the world conversation. Is that not what film and television is for?

		One of the songs that stayed in my head that I really considered a lot was an old folk song called 'John Brown' - not the abolitionist John Brown, but the one that Bob Dylan has covered and sung before.
