Alcock said seeing her face everywhere felt straining.

She said her recent fame was difficult to navigate.

Alcock said she didn’t have a personal relationship with many celebrities.

None of her family is into the arts.

Alcock said Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower were made enemies by the choices of men.

She said it was ironic that she was being compared to Emily Carey in real life.
