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 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!

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

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

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

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.
