Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) "I got the scripts for season 6 and I thought the story was so fantastic, it's really exciting to see Brienne burst forth again. So many characters for so long had their isolated storylines and as a fan of this show as well, I've been wanting and dreaming — 'I wonder what it would be like to see this person interact with this other person?' And that's what starts to unfold."
