Personal Quote:

[on portraying Melisandre in 'Game of Thrones'] Playing evil is just not interesting. I don't think anyone who does evil stuff thinks they're doing evil stuff. That's the scary part. The people who do things we despise or don't understand - they think they're doing a good thing, which is so scary. I think that is the only way for me to play her, because otherwise I'm fighting with her. See more »

Trivia:

Has starred in four movies that have the word "black" in the title: Zwarte zwanen (2005), Black Book (2006), Black Death (2010) and Black Butterflies (2011). See more »
