On the fact that she hates being called ‘cute’:

“The way we describe boys is ‘Oh you’re so strong, you’re so good at sport’. With girls we say oh you’re so pretty, you’re so adorable’ – and it does limit you. I remember being told I was cute and feeling it was really patronizing – what if I wanted to get muddy and play with the boys? I felt like I was boxed in by this one word”.

… says 18 year-old Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams.
