I'm a sci-fi guy. But I like fantasy too.

Dancing is not one of my talents. But when you've had a few drinks anyone is a good dancer, right?

Typically in 'Game of Thrones,' people who are honest and just and do things for the right reasons tend not to survive.

I trained three or four days a week for two and a half months, before they'd even let me near the real dress. And I destroyed two practice dresses completely. They were just ripped to shreds. They looked like cats had gotten a hold of them.

When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them.

You act at being a man, and before you know it, you are one.

One of the most beautiful things about 'Game of Thrones' is it's told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they're doing is right. But they're only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character's point of view you may switch allegiances.
