“There was a period when I had a hard time reconciling all the different parts of me in a way that I thought would make sense to others.”

By the Light and my hope of salvation and rebirth… I, Moiraine Sedai, swear to obey the judgment of the Amyrlin Seat and never return until she calls me home, or may the Creator’s face turn from me and darkness consume my soul.

It’s all right to be afraid. You reached out and you touched the Source. You saw how small you are in comparison to it, and how great you are in comparison to those you’ve always loved. How do you fit into the world? Can you ever go back to being who you were? I know because I felt it, too, the first time. And the answer is no — you’ll never be the same.

After theater, it seems you jumped right into Shadow and Bone. Can you share a bit of what you went through when you learned you got the leading role of Alina Starkov? I was here at home when I got the call, and I think it was one of those moments when I was very slightly confident that I got the job. In my last round of auditions, they said, “hey, we’ve got a few days to talk things through, but just hold tight.” So, I was just waiting for the call, and thinking, don’t get too excited because it might not happen… and then I got the call and just swore a lot and was very excited. I didn’t really know what to do with myself for the rest of the day. I think I ended up going to IKEA because I think I just lost my brain a little bit that day. I just wandered around IKEA, not buying anything because I didn’t know what to do—I don’t even like IKEA! I was so excited, and obviously, there were a few months between getting cast and going out and filming, so it was the longest summer of my life, just waiting to go out to Budapest, slowly meeting the rest of the cast and falling in love with them all. It was a strange summer, 2019, of waiting around excitement.
