At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.

I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you're in - how clever you are. I put down "Kit Harington," and they looked at me like I was completely stupid, and they said, "No, you're Christopher Harington, I'm afraid." It was only then I learnt my actual name. That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that's who I was. I'm not really a "Chris."

I love going out. I love partying.

You have to look at your blessings, don't you? With Thrones, I have to realize that, whatever happens, and for all the stress and the pressure that goes with it, it's been an extraordinary journey and I know I'll look back later in my life and think, 'That was crazy, that was amazing.' It's something that very, very few people experience, and I love that.

I wear quite fitted clothing. I don't like wearing baggy stuff.

I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.

It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.
