Despite being considered as one of television's brightest teen stars, "Game of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams admits that she sometimes gets bouts of insecurity because she is not a "classic beauty."

"Everyone's got their insecurities, and when someone points them out to you publicly it hurts," she recently told Teen Vogue. However, it does not mean that she lets insecurity control her.

"But whenever I get down, I think, I'd rather look the way I do and have a killer personality than be like every other girl. I pride myself on being different," she said.

The 17-year-old actress finds inspiration on her "Game of Thrones" character Arya Stark. She admits being a fan of the character for she is someone who is unafraid to "speak her mind so freely and not worry about the consequences."

Last July, "Game of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams also compared her character to a "misunderstood Darth Vader."

"You pick him up kind of already at that stage and then you find out so much more about him before. And, it's the same with Arya, although we're actually seeing that twisted path, which is almost more disturbing than you hating a character and then realizing they're actually quite good," she told Entertainment Wise.

"To actually see one of your favorite characters - of such a lovely young, funny girl, slowly be chipped and chipped away into something completely else, I think, even for me, it was really hard to play, and I'm reading scenes, like, 'God, this is not the Arya that I thought I was going to be playing,'" she shared to the publication.

The British beauty, when she appeared at the TV Choice Awards, also teased that viewers would see a different Arya in "Game of Thrones" season 5.
