On her mental state, the actress said "The thing that gave her humanity was her kids. They’re gone now. Her father is gone. Tyrion is gone. There’s no one to tell her she can’t, she’s stupid, she’s just a woman." 

On the look exchanged by Cersei and Jamie in finale, she said, "I think when Jaime looks anything other than happy, she has a “f— you” moment. This will be such an interesting season for them. Where do they go? It’s so toxic now."

On her future, Heady said "I don’t feel comfort, I’m pondering where she can go from here. I don’t think it will end well. Who knows?"
