Despite her successes as an actress (GoT, 300, The Sarah Connor Chronicles), the 39-year-old still plans for the worst.

"I'm sort of like a t rex in the world of female actresses. Every time a job is finished, I look at my car and think, 'Could I live in it?'" she says.

The third season of "Game of Thrones" begins on March 31, and now that filming is done and the press tours are winding down she considers herself to be unemployed right now (**SPOILER ALERT**: until filming on season 4 begins).

Now she plans to go home to Los Angeles to "beg for work."
