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.

All of the press and stuff - that's the scary stuff. The acting is what I got trained to do.

My life is unrecognisable compared to what it was - 'Game of Thrones' has opened doors that were never there before. But it can be dangerous to see it in those terms, I think. It's best to take it as it comes and work as hard as you can, and hopefully the other things fall into place.

I looked around one stage school when I was maybe nine. It just scared the bejesus out of me. I was incredibly open, and the girls seemed fierce and determined.

I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing.

I spent most of my life watching HBO series wishing that at some point in my career I might be able to work with them.

Music is something that's always been a huge part of my life.
