Cersei in Game of Thrones is quite solid and stiff.

People do seem to think that I'm going to be some wicked witch, and then they're always surprised to find out I'm just a little clumsy nerd.

I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.

It's always weird the thought of taking your clothes off in front of 20 people and then to have it projected in front of many more.

Freedom isn't free at all, that it comes with the highest of costs. The cost of blood.

It's not socially acceptable to be a complete and utter manipulative cow.
