"Sometimes I feel like the kid left out - the weirdo with the silver hair that no one likes to talk to." - on her role as Daenerys Targaryen, and that fact that Daenerys isn't in Westeros so she doesn't interact with most of the cast.

NotesEdit
Added by The Dragon DemandsFollowing her theater career, Emilia Clarke's first major on-screen appearance was in a series of television commercials which aired in 2009 for the anti-abuse organization Samaritans. The commercials consist of Clarke, apparently having been verbally and/or physically abused, staring into the camera with wordless horror for almost a full minute as tears silently roll down her cheeks. Ironically, this is very close to Daenerys' situation in the first book, A Game of Thrones, and in Season 1.
