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.

I like a good cry every now and then. It releases something. There are times in my life when I'm meant to cry, but I don't actually cry. But then I can be walking down the street and it's been a few months, and things get on top of me - that's when I find myself crying.

I love going out. I love partying.

You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.

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.

Like every actor, you get notorious for maybe one role and then get offered a lot of similar roles.

I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.
