When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.

Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.

Iceland, I'm in love with that country, the people are incredible.

The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.

It's very difficult to say anything in Icelandic. I can say "takk," which means "thank you." That's about all I learned.

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."
