Sophie Turner has been keeping busy as of late. Within the past year, the 24-year-old has wrapped Game of Thrones, gotten married to Joe Jonas, booked a new Quibi show, and is reportedly pregnant with her first child. Now, the actress is opening up about a few of her major milestones in Elle's April cover story. In addition to talking about the end of her hit HBO series and saying goodbye to Sansa Stark, Sophie also shared some interesting details about her relationship with Joe, including their first interaction with each other. Turns out, Sophie thought he was going to be "such a d*ck." Find out what changed her mind as you read her best quotes ahead.

On hating the Jonas Brothers growing up: "My friends and I were not Jonas Brothers fans. There was this band in the UK called Busted. They had a hit called 'Year 3000.' It was amazing, and we were huge Busted fans. Then the Jonas Brothers covered the song and made it massive. And Busted broke up. We thought it was all the Jonas Brothers' fault. So we hated them."

On meeting Joe Jonas for the first time: "I expected him to show up with security and everything. I thought he would be such a d*ck. I took all my guy friends with me to meet him, because in the back of my mind I was worried he could be a catfish, or . . . I don't know what. I just wanted my guy friends with me. I had my rugby boys. I was safe. The best thing was that he didn't bring security. He brought a friend and they drank just as hard as the rest of us. I remember us two spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we found a space in the far corner and we just talked. We talked for hours, and hours, and hours. And I wasn't bored. It wasn't contrived, it wasn't small talk — it was just so easy. Soon, we were inseparable. And then I went on tour with him."
On why she thinks Joe Jonas is out of her league: "With Joe, I always felt like I was the one who was punching, like, way above my league. And I still feel like that. He's so handsome, talented, funny, charismatic. I'm really lucky to be with him and have someone like him want to be around me and spend time with me."

On her favorite part about being married: "I feel as though the only thing that's changed for me is having this incredible sense of security. Just the word 'husband' and the word 'wife' — they solidify the relationship. I love being married. I think it's wonderful. I'm sure we'll have our hiccups, but right now the security and the safety are everything."
On being a "J Sister": "It's also nice to have built-in girlfriends who are actually really cool, who I can hang out with and we can really talk to each other about, like, how crazy the boys' lives are. We can relate on so many different levels. It's like, thank God, because you never know [about your in-laws]."
