Quotes I was always hypnotised by cinema and would get this sense of being overwhelmed every time I watched a film. It was a weird feeling. Through that intuition I felt like this is what I have to do for the rest of my life. Gay, Danielle (23 March 2020). "Meet rising star Milly Alcock, the 19 year old who is bound to make it big in Hollywood". Vogue Australia. It wasn’t my place. I never did well. I really struggled and I really wanted to do well… it just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t my place. I didn’t really have any great teachers who saw me until I found acting was where I felt safe. So, yeah, it was the right decision. Byrnes, Holly (19 December 2020). "Milly Alcock quit school to star in Foxtel drama Upright and it has taken her to the top of the class". Gold Coast Bulletin. On leaving school and finding acting as her path. I was given the gift of learning by watching such amazing actors, but I also spent so much time alone. I was in a different country alone during lockdown. I was given the opportunity that I didn’t want to mess up. Because I didn’t know if an opportunity like this would ever come again. Rodriguez, Jasmine (16 August 2022). "Milly Alcock – Go Ahead, Unleash That Voice". Flaunt. On filming House of the Dragon and the pressure of the role. I did not know that you could make television like this. And I think that this whole experience has opened the door to a world I did not know existed. Jessop, Vicky (22 August 2022). "Milly Alcock on House of the Dragon: 'Things like this don't happen to people like me'". Evening Standard. On working on House of the Dragon. I think that’s what made the whole process really frightening, because in some ways I felt like I hadn’t earned it. BAZAAR, Harpers (22 March 2023). "Meet Milly Alcock, a very gen Z star". Harper's Bazaar Australia. On being cast as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon.
