Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf

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.

I long for the countryside. That's where I get my calm and tranquillity - from being able to come and find a spot of green.

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

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'd give my right arm to be, like, a random extra on 'Girls,' just to walk past one of the scenarios. I'd love that more than anything.
