My parents are European immigrants. And I think as Europeans there are so many languages in close proximity that it's part of the culture to try to learn at least one other language. So my parents really encourage it in the house. Chinese would be really great to learn - like Mandarin or Cantonese. Portuguese would be incredible.

I try to get away. Its very unusual for me to be in one spot for so many months, which is one of the things Ive had to get used to for a television show. I enjoy going on adventures and seeing the planet.

I think 'Game of Thrones' was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories, that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.

I think you pay people based on their work and not based on gender. It's that simple.

Romance is diffcult for some celebrities. If the media finds out you’re dating Robert Pattinson, you’re screwed.

Don't wait until it's too late to say I love you.

When I was 16, I was in Boston and some friends said, 'You want to go to New York?,' I went with my roommate... These guys said, 'We're going to this club. Just don't go in the washroom.' It was CBGB. I had no idea what it was or the history of all the music. All I knew was this was my first 21-and-over club and I managed to get in!
