shareI loved this part of the interview.. which pretty much speaks that Cait totally understands Claire and the books.
Season 3 is a big leap as you go from playing the ingenue to playing mother to Brianna [played by 22 year-old Sophie Skelton]. What’s it like zooming so far forward in someone’s timeline?
It definitely is a tough thing to try and figure out where you would be in 20 years, and then to do it for somebody else. I was talking to someone recently, and she was saying how every person feels a certain age for the rest of their life. For her grandmother, she always felt like she was 21. A friend of mine was saying, ”I think 28. I must’ve been so happy at 28, that that’s how I always see myself.”
With Claire, I latched onto that. When she has gone back to Boston and she’s not with Jamie, she’s a mother and she’s very professional, but she’s put a side of herself away. That kind of sexual, romantic side of herself has been shelved almost for 20 years. When she gets back to Jamie, she’s back to that—27, 28, or whatever age she was supposed to be—time when she first met him because that’s when she really, I think, first came alive.

She right about the age thing. I always seem to think like I'm still in my mid-twenties. Good way to approach Claire and I'd venture to say if they've discussed it Sam will probably approach Jamie the same way.
