The actress, who starred alongside the likes of Sean Bean, Richard Madden, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie on the TV show, told ‘Variety’, "I have gone through every circuitous route to get to the place that I am now, which is finally being able to be very grateful for everything that ‘Game of Thrones’ did and has given me. I no longer feel trapped in it, or trapped in the result of being in it”.
She further mentioned, “I feel just really lucky that it happened to me, even luckier that I’ve had time to understand what that was, and now I feel firmly on the other side”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, the actress explained that at the height of the show's success, she felt quite disconnected from her on-screen character. The actress also "didn’t have any creative input" into her character, either.

The actress voiced her support for the spin-off show. but confessed that watching the programme would be "weird" and "strange".
Emilia, whose other acting credits include ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’, ‘Terminator: Genisys’ and ‘Me Before You’, said, "It's too weird. I'm so happy it's happening. I'm over the moon about all the awards ... I just can't do it. It's so weird. It's so strange”.
Emilia even likened watching the spin-off show to attending a school reunion.
