The '90s were really just bad for fashion and hair.

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.

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.

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

My father always says, ‘Never trust anyone who has a TV bigger than their bookshelf.’ So I make sure I read. Back at home, I just put up a massive bookcase and asked everyone I know and love to help me fill it with their favorite books. It’s been quite nice because I’ve learned a lot about my friends and family from what they’ve been giving me. A book says a lot about a person.

I told my parents I wanted to be an actor and they were getting ready for a life of unemployment so they're just happy I'm in work!

There are no captions on red-carpet photos that say, 'This girl trained for two weeks, she went on a juice diet, she has a professional hair and makeup person, and this dress was made for her.' I just wish they'd say, 'It ain't the truth.'
