With “House of the Dragon,” I think people have really set [Alicent] up to be the villain. I just don’t think she is at all. Number one, I think it’d be incredibly shortsighted to play any character like a villain. But there’s so much empathy that I have for her. She’s incredibly antagonistic at times, but I just don’t see her as that black-and-white villain that I think a lot of people see her as.
Queen of swords, mistress of grief, lady of tears — Olga Orozco, from Engravings: Torn from Insomnia: "To Destroy the Enemy."

If there is love enough, then nothing - not nature, not even death itself - can come between two who love each other. The SONS OF YORK will destroy each other, one brother destroying another, uncles devouring nephews, fathers beheading sons.
THE WHITE QUEEN (2013)
