Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that?

Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.

I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.

Animals on factory farms all face pain and fear, just like the animals we share our homes with, yet are repeatedly abused in shocking ways.

I love animals. All animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.
