Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner recently addressed whether or not she would reprise her role as Sansa Stark.

“It’s been 10 years of my life and the best 10 years of my life by far,” she went on to say. “I finished in a very happy place with Sansa and it’s time to let her go. I feel like if I played her again it would be just be more trauma.”

Turner recently spoke to the New York Times about how the popular series ending makes her feel, admitting, “I don’t know. This whole time I felt like I’ve been prepared for it, and now that it’s come to the day and it’s over, it feels horrible. And, I’m doing a press day for my new movie but everyone keeps asking me about how I feel, and I just want to cry.”
