I say I’m an atheist but I wouldn’t mind being visited by a ghost.

Cersei took so many of us out in the last episode and she's really turned dark; even Jaime Lannister can see that, so I don't think that Cersei Lannister is long for her Westeros world. I hope she's not.

When you play a real person, you feel a sense of responsibility that obviously you don't feel when you're playing a fictional character.

I feel that we live in an age where everyone's trying to reduce, and soundbite, and cut it down to140 characters, and that's not what life is.

I think the beauty of the writing of 'Game of Thrones' is not that the characters are fearless; it's how they overcome their fear, you know?

You don't want the men to be written in a three-dimensional way and the women, not.

I just want to play real human beings. You know, I don't care if they're male or female.
