One of the many things I love about Daenerys from Game of Thrones is she's given me an opportunity to fly the flag for young girls and women, to be more than just somebody's wife and somebody's girlfriend.

A young Brit girl with no theatre experience decided to take on an iconic American role on Broadway. Maybe I should have thought that through?

I'm really old-fashioned. An Epsom salt bath, that's genuinely better than any massage.

I came out of my mum's stomach going, 'I want to be an actor!'

Sometimes I feel like the kid left out - the weirdo with the silver hair that no one likes to talk to.

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

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.
