Discussing her character Ygritte

Access: Do you think when that scene happens that she is just trying to use her sexuality to survive or is she kind of intrigued by this guy who couldn’t bring himself to take her life?

Rose: I think she’s totally bewildered by Jon. She hasn’t ever come across somebody like him before in her whole life. All the boys, all the men that she’s ever known have always tried to come on to her or tried to steal her, ‘cause she’s incredibly like, sexual as well. And she just cannot figure him out. He doesn’t try to take advantage of her in the situation where he’s the one with the sword and she’s tied up. I think it amuses her as well. I think it’s a difficult balance. She’s totally bewildered that this is the situation that she’s not trying to fight him off and also it scares him. It’s very entertaining, I thought, for her to see that this guy got so freaked out when you would kind of wiggle your bum, when we were both kind of snuggled down on the ground. And yeah, it’s that whole kind of teasing element, which I love, which was very, very fun.

Is it difficult to mentally go to the places you go?

Yes; I think every actor approaches it in different ways. I'm mostly talking about the scene at the end where I'm tied up and I kind of give birth. With that scene I had to approach it with the mentality of not leaving that space, making sure I don't go outside to make a phone call back home, just stay within the mentality of Bea. Making sure this horrific, horrendous feeling is still there bubbling inside. Hoping to see the whole confusion and harrowing nature of it all.
