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?

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

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 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!
