Drama school is fundamentally practical. I didn't write any essays, so I came out with a BA honors degree in acting.

I love my Spanish fans!

I've read all the "Game of Thrones" books many times over, so I sometimes find it easier being on set, because it can be hard to get out of character.

My dad took me for an audition once, to show me, OK, you want to be a child actor, this is what its like. I sang a folk song about donkeys on this West End stage with this big director, and there was a queue of 200 girls all singing Memory. I was terrible. Terrible.

I cannot contain this. Please, can we all have something sexual together? You're both beautiful, even just a hug.'

After my last audition for 'Game of Thrones,' they said, 'Congratulations, princess.' I was like, 'Bye-bye, call centre.'

Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf
