When I'm not working, I like to be comfortable. I do like to dress smart, but comfort is important.

You can meet lots of actors who are in their own world and do their own thing, and they have no idea what's going on and they don't know anyone's name around them.

It's nice to have recognition for doing a good job, but at the end of the day, I'm just an actor and I'm doing my job and I'm always trying to get better at doing that job.

The concept of a woman with a terrible life who needs a man to come and rescue her, doesn't apply and isn't something we should probably be teaching kids.

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.

I think it's good for an actor to bounce between stuff on camera and stuff in theatre. If I could do half and half every year I would be a very, very happy man.

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