I love going out. I love partying.

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.

You know that thing when you break up with someone and you’re walking around the town where you both live and you’re just really hoping to see them? You know that you’re not supposed to see them, but there’s nothing you want more.

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."

The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.

I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.

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