Michelle Fairleys performance is out of this world. She elevates every scene she is in to another level. If only there had been a lady Stoneheart in the show..

If ONLY, yes.
Lady Stoneheart would have been amazing, one of the coolest cliffhangers from the last book for sure.
She would have killed it. Her slitting the throat of Walders wife showed how good she’d be as Stoneheart.
She's legit great
I don't know how is humanly possibile to write such interesting books. You have to be a genius.
armin38822 i wouldn't say genius, but yes, he has had a lot of time to contemplate his world. it is quite incredible
Understand how the human mind works and use this knowledge as a tool to lead your reader's emotions; write in such a way the reader will feel what you want them to feel. Easy.
Genius is the right word
armin38822 it definitely takes a unique mind to write fantasy
GRRM is a genius for sure
During the Q&A I was happy how after Mr. Martin answered, depending on the question, he would then ask Michelle something so she could speak also. He knew that most likely everyone who's going to ask something would direct the questions at him because well, he's the father of epic fantasy series and Michelle is just an actor of one of his characters. Way to go George, really looking forward for Winds of Winter!
Yeah, and I'm sad about that. We Aussies are avid readers. You'll see heaps of people reading books in public transports. Though we love the show, we slightly prefer the books more. Hence, heaps of questions directed at Martin and none for Michelle.
Still, Michelle is a great actress and she deserves to be recognised for her high-quality acting.

I prefer the books too. The show is very entertaining, very well done and the actors do great job but I too love books and reading. ASoIaF is one of my favorite fantasy series in the top 3 of my list. Martin is an amazing writer and I love the way he paints the story in words. Combined with my personal imagination, the show could never get even close how beautiful and epic the real story is in my mind.
I look forward to the Winds of Winter like it was a kidney.
Mande Peer June 2017. Still no winds of winter and not the horizon
A lot of that was bad arrangement by the show, they should be setting up people who have questions for both. The host also only really managed to make things more awkward, kept pointing out that she wasn't getting questions, as if the audience could arrange and direct themselves without it being really awkward stumbling around like "who's your question for?" "who's your question for?". People also started lining up when she wasn't out there, so it's possible a lot of the people early in the line didn't know asking her questions was even an option. I wanted to see her get some questions, her performance on GOT was exquisite.
Im impressed no one asked michelle or Martin about lady stoneheart

No one im the public read the book.. shame
Yessss! Why!? I don't understand people sometime🤦🏽♀️
"Ramsay's a misunderstood fellow" Hahah that cracked me up. What a legend
Its a shame we wont see her again as Lady Stonheart, Michelle said that she was excited to play that role its a shame such a good actress
Catelyn Tully Not your hype. Ned loves your hype.
*****
That was beautiful
@@catelyntully9494 I love your profile photo! One of the few Catelyn fans, I see!
@@sharknado623 Thanks a lot! This picture is a little gem now that the original creator closed it's facebook page.
@@catelyntully9494 good to.know! I can't see it particularly well. What does it represent, apart Catylin?
That's pretty impressive that they only took one take with the blood in the red wedding scene. Great acting on her part. She should have been nominated for an Emmy or even a Golden Globe.
+1 to the interviewer for knowing the name of Bran's horse. Nice one, mate.
I know, right? I did not expect this from this salad-hair. :)
LOL, I came to write I couldn't take him seriously at the start with that Mop of hair either.
Didn't someone in the audience yell it at him? It looks like he is thanking them afterwards.
I miss her so much. Lena Headey is the boss lady actress right now but Michelle's skills DEFINITELY and easily rivaled hers. They are soooo good
Definitely the two strongest actresses on the show.
But to be fair even lena said Michelle’s acting was better then her own soooooo
I mean they recasted catelyn to give Michele the part let be real here. Lena is ace at Cercie but everyone hates catelyn but not one hated tv catelyn cuz michelle be like fuck no I ain’t paying catelyn like this.
The queeeeeens ❤
@@kkandsims4612 People can have their own opinions, sooo...
@@nottoomuch87 Michelle, Lena, and Emilia are so silly and fun loving from what I see in interviews, total opposites from the characters that they play so well. When I seen Lena all tatted up in her cute hippie clothes I was floored lol
the moment Michelle walked...DANCED in... I was like 'she's SOO ADORABLE!" and she is :3
Such a lovely woman! Miss her character on the show terribly!
Donna Louisse Me too! She's wonderful :)
Is it crazy my first thought when she did that dance was “is she married?” because that seems like some young at heart, free as a bird kind of bets
"The man who doesnt read lives only one [life]"
...Except the man that plays Dark Souls
notma reelnam Isn't it; "A reader lives a thousand lives"? A line Jojen Reed said in the books, as well as probably a sortof personal motto from George.
notma reelnam but he also dies a millions deaths... over and over again .. against the same boss
Lady Stoneheart is using that scarf to cover her neck wounds. :S
only book readers will understand
Simão Samouco i understand but haven’t read yet the Lady Stoneheart part
Awwh, I wanted more Michelle! She is a true beauty and a exquisite actress.
Then again, so is George, minus the actress!
Taliesin Fox-Henry Wahey! George say Ah-straya like we Aussies!
When Alt Shift X (at least I think it was him) started to talk, GRRM and Michelle looked at him with so much awe. I think it is because of his golden voice. Love that guy's mellow tone.
At what part did he talk?
Somewhere towards the end. around 1:10, think
his voice was stiff as silk
@1:20? the proud son question ye?
That was my boy Alt Schwift???? Hmmmmmmmm
She is so beautiful and her voice is just made for theaters, drama and movies
I love how michelle actually read the books. I don't think many of the actors in the show did
Yeah, it's been proven that Maisie Williams can't even read. Apparently her lines were learnt via someone else reaidng them aloud.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one" may be the most true quote I've ever read, about reading.
yer mum tho
Kinda sad if you think about it.
Even if you had no interest in GOT or writing you could sit and watch this guy talk for hours.
@luke Why?
@@kidd_splashh6036 I have no idea, I watched this 5 years ago.
@@yukowl lmao
Why?
@@mac2312 I have no idea, I watched this 7 years ago.
1:20:15
There's no way that's not the Alt Shift X guy
+Alex S lol, it iss him..
+Alex S Haha you know what I think you could be right! Even though it's in Australia and that accent is far from unique, the voice is incredibly similar.
It also explains why he asked such a weird question, because he already knows everything important about GoT!
+Alex S When I was listening I thought the same!!
+Alex S no, this guys voice is too whiney, Alt Shift X voice is deeper... (i had to check it out!) This guy is fake, I mean who hosts a show blatantly reading from a paper?!! (unless he is covering for the real presenter, who got sick minutes before the show!!)
AHH, i see! i thought they meant the actual presenter dude :-)
15:50 Oh Michelle! You break my heart, this is so cute. The way she talks about Richard, it is so adorable. And I think she is almost crying here. Such a lovely woman.
So so cute 😭❤
I noticed that too and knowing that she is childless in real life, that probably means a lot for her. 💕
@@MalloryNewcomb yea but she herself claimed she wanted 0 kids but who knows maybe she changed her mind and it was to late to get pregnant how old is she in her late 50’s ? Middle f50’s I will say she looks in her 50’s but she’s beautiful either way .
@@kkandsims4612 Yes, she has said she had no maternal instinct.
Which is so ironic because she’s been a mum in both of her most famous roles. She is in her late 50s and she was married for a time many years ago. I think she looks incredible, like she manages to look her age yet really young at the same time. Like I’d love to see a picture of her in her 20s and see how much Sophie Turner & a young Michelle resemble each other
@@MalloryNewcomb wait what’s her second oh gangs of London yea it’s crazy she plays a mother a lot and not just any mother a mother very very protective and good to her kids . It’s like she’s type casted I wanna see her in a comedy or somewhere in a Romance meh she just made a romance tho so nm but I think she’s got the range to portray alot of stuff.
39:00 - That is the point of writing, in a way (though it's not always done so brutally or so much as with ASOIAF). One article I read, started with "As writers, it is our duty to create lovable, enticing characters - and do horrible, evil things to them."
And another quote, which I find extremely good for authors, was actually from Darth Plagueis in Star Wars: "Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you."
Michelle Fairley has a great sense of humor. If you listen/watch the commentary videos for the episodes the ones with her and Nikolajare hilarious
Michelle Fairley is not attractive by typical American standards, but she is a beautiful woman. And, she has such a lovely, happy personality and is obviously so brilliant.
What a wonderful interview.
I think she’s is actually attractive by American standard more so when she was a younger woman at her age now she’s not plastic so I would see how maybe at her current age she’s not up to American standard but she’s luckily Irish so she dose not need to worry about it.
Gosh Michelle is such a beauty and a phenomenal actress too.
That's why littlefinger was all about everything
@@irfanfareed2583 🤦🏿♀️😂😂😂as if little finger Aiden wants michelle outside of the show but hey she’s a private AF so maybe they did do the dirty .
She seems like such a nice lady
Wow. Michelle Fairley looks fantastic
Ok but Michelle Fairley's voice is beautiful
It used to sound very very different and a lot more Irish . She still sounds Irish but she sounded more Irish in the 90’s.
GRRM has so much respect for Dinklage/Tyrion and Maisie/Arya.
His comment about Ramsay makes sense. I was shocked!
GRRM gives such great detailed answers, it's wonderful. And Michelle fairly is adorable as always :)
I would love more Catelyn with her daughters
I can listen to Michelle all day & never get tired of it
The interview was great!! Loved the interviewer and also how George R. R Martin answered all the questions.
Watch it all because it's a great QnA session all around, but just an fyi that George R.R. Martin addresses the gods (or lackthereof) at 1:18:13
@Jonathan Eric um...
Will never forgive Dumb and Dumber for not giving us Michelle Fairley's Lady Stoneheart.
Michelle applauding the illegal downloading of Game of Thrones, I love this woman xDD And prior, she was so cute, trying to find the guy who was asking the question, Jesus what a gem of a woman
Plus George R.R. Martin is great, reading his books right now and it's fantastic, would have loved to have seen him give a talk
I thought she was hilarious for applauding the illegal downloading… like “oh look at you guys” yet worried it would send the wrong message all at once 😂
"...If it was me, Gandalf would stay dead..." - G.R.R.Martin ... copy+paste
Ben Kesser That explains Lady Stoneheart.
Marius Malus
ahahaha
Right?
Hypocrite much, George?
Marius Malus Its not the same way really, Gandalf comes back, everything the same and stronger. No disadvantages, Kat comes back fueled by bloodlust and limited power, the power she does have is quite fleeting. She certainly ain't no Stoneheart the White.
Marius Malus not only lady stoneheart , but beric dondarrion , the Hound , Gregor Clegane
and soon Jon Snow
not to mention possibilities of people coming beck from the dead :
septon Chayle , Gerion Lannister , Benjen Stark
No offense but the hound doesn't count. Recovering from an injury isn't the same as coming back from the dead. Being left for dead isn't the same as coming back from the dead. As for the other characters though... Ya hypocrite much. Maybe gerion lannister is just wandering out there somewhere
I love the fact, that you can hear George scratching his beard xD
After watching so many GRRM interviews, I gotta say, this interviewer is hands down the best.
I love Michelle's voice. She should do some voice acting.
+blahblahooooooooblah i thought i was teh only one...i wish she could do audiobooks
She has done loads of audiobooks some are hard to find but a lot are on the BBC sounds or audible
The show was bonkers not to include Stoneheart...
I know right? They could have gone the horror route and made it so awesome. It could have been like one scene. A few minutes. Simple..done. But nope. They are clearly trying to cut down storylines. So they can be done in a season or two.
Entrisen but Stoneheart serves a compmetely different purpose
Entrisen dude thats nowhere near the same thing are you kidding me
@@Just.Kidding What did Antrisen say?
Catelyn is truly one of my favorite characters in asoiaf and Michelle played her so well. Such a shame she isn't ressurected.
Martin giving 10 minute complex answers/ michelle: "what month is it"
You know what is funny. The hero with the 6 friends happens in 7x6 (Beyond The Wall), where nobody dies or they only get wounded.
ZeroSenses You're from /r/asoiaf lol
Someone of use had to comment this. Took one for the team.
Thoros of Myr! Viserion! Benjen!
comraderaoul Let's be honest here: not many persons cared for him. The biggest loss is the dragon and it wasn't even named in the show who it was. People just got dramatic for him because it was a dragon. And D&D mainly made that decision so that they got their icedragon.
@@nonononomo3028 I just watched that episode again and it was funny because several people died but it was people I didn’t know or know that they were with the group at all. My significant other and I kept joking about oh that was extra person #4 or 5.
Little known fact the RR in his name stands for Ruff Ryders. He's a huge DMX fan.
George's the best. And Michelle played Lady Stark perfectly shes great.
This was fantastic. Funny interviewer, good social skills shown by George. Thanks for posting.
Sometimes I wonder how she would be acting as Lady Stoneheart.
She would be truly chilling.
GRRM gives such detailed explanations, amazing👍
Shame on the audience for not one single person ask any question regards to the character and authencity of Michelle Fairley, where all questions were all directed towards George with the same redundant questions. The only person who include Michelle in the Q&A session was George himself whom doesn't want her to feel left out.. So magnaminous if him!
Michelle Fairley was a last minute fill in that night. Peter Dinklage was originally meant to appear with GRRM. Some people probably arrived and didn't really have much time to think about interesting questions to ask of Michelle.
Also common, most fans of the show would wanna ask the author questions instead of one of the 13 main characters..so, cant really blame the fans
@@sharnistevens1428 I could ask her100 questions on the spot I just don’t think anyone had questions for michelle plain and simple .
@@abhishekbaburaj1105 who are the 13 main characters? Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, Jaime, Sansa, Arya, Eddard, Cersei, Bran and?
@@user-ns2sx1rk4h honestly, it's been a year and i don't remember why i mentioned "13 main characters"...lol
But if i had to guess who i had in mind...maybe Robb?
Imagine LOTR done by George R.R. Martin, all the elves are naked, Gandalf would die in book 1, all the hobbits die book 2, everyone else dies in book 3 except Gollom, who becomes the hero and saves the world :)
@Zoe Kouf I think they meant really die and not come back.
In a fantastically cast show, Michelle Fairley was one of the best cast. She is Catelyn Stark
michelle is such a nice person, with so much youthful energy and great humour. wonderful lady
I found a photo of her when she was 27 and holy cow for 1 smoking has not been kind to her youth but I kinda get the impression she gives two fucks about her beauty .
I mean my sister thought it was a photoshopped photo of michelle Natalie dormer and Sophie Turner when in reality it was just michelle
She’s pretty now but when she was younger she was drop dead I am not surprised she had boys and men lining up . Plus she honestly seems like you could just chill with her and she would love you no matter.
Amazing directors, amazing writers...... David and Dan...
I would be so excited to see a Fevre Dream adaptation. Such a fantastic story
+Vlarken Theres talks of it being on showtime after GOT
32:24 he's talking about R+L=J i'm pretty sure of that YEAH :))~
I was thinking the same thing
+Saudi gucci Oh im sure he is. R+L=J will stay! :-)
+Saudi gucci you guys really need to stop taking every word he says as a theory ffs. Whatever is going to happen let it happen and stop ruining something that is getting ruined like people like you guys. Serious, Grow up and wait for when the new book/season comes out. Jesus
+Saudi gucci That part made me so happy, because the theories out there are amazing. He says he won't change the story just because people had figured out things, and that was one of my biggest worries.
+Walter Bishop Don't tell people what to do. Who the fuck do you think you are? If you don't like seeing theories, DON'T FUCKING WATCH THEM.
RE: George saying he thought Frodo was dead - he shouldn’t really have thought that between books, as the The Two Towers ends with the line “Frodo was alive but taken by the enemy.” However, once The Return of the King starts, Tolkien doesn’t give us any further news of Frodo or Sam until after the Mouth of Sauron shows Gandalf, Aragorn, and company that he has Frodo’s mithril shirt, which leads to certain conclusions…
Michelle's twirl and dance was amazing. love her. she's an incredible actor
Mother. Aww that's so sweet!
Michelle Fairley never came back as the re-animated Lady Stoneheart, an important character in the books .... would be interesting to get her and George Martin's take as to why, and whether they advocated for the character's insertion into the series.
LOL @ her impression of people talking about Cat's death @ 8:01
At 22:22, George realises that this is as good as Australian humour is ever going to get, and would rather be home.
Michelle is a beautiful person. She is Cat to me.
"...If it was me, Gandalf would stay dead..." - G.R.R.Martin ... copy+paste
'ramsey is a misunderstood fella' LOL
1:14:05 "The Wire" and "Breaking Bad". No kidding. The best and most elite T.V shows. And of course now Game of Thrones.
Walking Dead
I don’t think George liked that opening joke by the interviewer lol
This is amazing.
34:00
Pay attention to what he says at 34:00
It's really important and super relevant to everyone who is trying to over-think and hyper-analyze George's generic, "Bittersweet," answer to the obviously unanswerable, "How's it all gonna end?!?" question he keeps getting asked about season 8.
Love her :) This interviewer is really good too :)
"is there a reason why we havent heard from the seven yet?"..... LOL oh yes there is
Why do people include Michelle Fairley as a Harry Potter star/belonging to the HP Universe because of a 5-second scene?
Right I would not classify her as a Harry Potter cast member never
I can't believe the person giving the interview insulted Mr. Martin with that 30 min of writing joke. and then to follow it up by saying he failed as a writer for not knowing ahead of time how big his books would be.
TheCatastrophus do you even.... humor??
still worrth watching in 2024.
I really don't like how people just ignored Michelle at the end even though they were asking people to ask her questions, very rude.
I kinda felt bad for her she also looked kinda nervous
Santa knows how to write stories!
Great interview, but the consistent mispronunciation of Catelyn's name is a bit annoying...
Dan Montgomery I fucking her so annoyed I am like it’s cat not Kate it’s catelyn 🤦🏿♀️ wtf do u think they call her cat not Kate. Or cate. But cat.
If you read the books before the show there's all kinds of pronunciations people had.
The interviewer really knew his stuff but, I'm amazed he made to the shoot, with that haircut, without having his face punched in.
Nice interview indeed.
"Y'all guessed R+L=J." good job.
She really didn’t want to directly answer how she reacted to when she found out how she’d die LOL
His sci-fi stuff is really good as well
There should have been Catelyn's return as Lady Stoneheart in the show too!! Such a waste David and Dan!, PS: I was stunned to my core when she came back in the book, and she is one of the most intimidating and ruthless characters along with Euron who was also basically not in the show.(The true Euron in the books is vastly different from the books and he is a fucking amazing terrifying and charismatic villain).
“Should people only consider the adapted parts important, or is that a fool’s errand?”
…..
“Mmmm, yeah.”
Why do interviewers always ask this ridiculous question to authors whose works are being adapted?
You think they’re going to tell people to ignore their actual work and only consider the adaptation as the thing worth getting invested in?
I went to a guest speaker event at my university that hosted Jeff VanderMeer, and he mentioned how he had this same question asked of him with regards to Annihilation and the movie adaptation, and whether people should just skip the book and watch the movie.
His response: “No! What did you think I was going answer?!”
1:22:23 This applies even more now with Season 7. It's increasingly rushed to only include essential scenes and lots of time passes between scenes.
She is wonderful and I for one and so glad they left out lady stone heart. It was the only part of the book I really hated.
OMG around minute 59 when he talks about ending a book on a stabbing....Book Spoilers Below!
In the 5th book at the end he did this to everyone's emotions when Jon is stabbed. My prediction is that Melasandra will revive him through the power of the Lord of Light. The nights watch will have said "and now his watch has ended" which will release hiom from his vows and then he will be able to Stannis' proposal to be Jon Stark.
Fantasy Stats Guru
Hmm, cheating both death and the nights watch in one (or multiple as it may be) stab(s)?
But Stannis is dead
Well yes now he is but he can still become Jon Stark somehow or have a bigger role to play in the 7 kingdoms or the Battle for the Dawn. (ice vs. Fire)
Marina Baskakova nope
at last ... a good interviewer of Martin.
I like the actress but hated catelyn tully ever since she told John snow "it should have been you"
Jon Snow is a constant reminder of her husbands infidelity that he absolutely refuses to talk to her about. I'm not saying what she said was right. Just that I understand why she said it
What was she supposed to do? Jon snow is a fucking bastard, and he is the constant reminder that his husband cheated on her.
It wasnt jon snows fault. Be a bitch to your "cheating" husband not to a boy that didnt ask to be born of that relationship . Seriously, if she forgave Ned, she shouldnt take it out on Jon
constanza marin "Be a bitch to your "cheating" husband not a boy that didnt ask to be born of that relationship "
I think you didn't realize this is a medieval setting. The same values we have do not apply to them
constanza marin Yeah. I always defend Catelyn, but that was truly fucked up. Her whole Jon dilema was the only thing that I couldn't completely understand. :/
we are making sure you never take your clothes off !
oooalrighhht, hey wait a minute... xD
Even though this interview is 6 years ago now, every time I hear the phrases “ great writing” and “David and Dan”. I cringe.
The interviewer is awesome.
Are you being sarcastic
I can't quite tell the difference
@@irfanfareed2583 seems like your problem.
she was a mom of teenagers....she needed that dignified stature, sure earlier in books Ned and Cat had romantic moments and Cat being sultry...but that's just the beginning, everything else Michelle did justice to the role...
that interviewer guy knows how to clap.
Did he talk about William Faulkner? I am not watching it without that
Not sure why so many people are praising the interviewer, I found him to be annoying and inappropriate.
7:09 great
33:00 I think the theory he's most-referring to is easily R+L=J
If they brought Jon back they should have done Lady Stoneheart. I mean they did the Brotherhood without Banners, coukd have easily included her being with them even if they kept her hooded and only hints at glimpses of her face.
I wrote some fiction and in that Catelyn not only doesn't die but while Rob is fighting Catelyn becomes the de facto leader of the North. It didn't really plan for Catelyn to become the major character but she just did partly because of the way GRRM wrote her but also the way Michelle played her. So many excellent performances within GOT & ASOIAF gives so many places to go. I don't think any other work of fantasy gives as many places to go with its myriad of characters.
