Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf
I long for the countryside. That's where I get my calm and tranquillity - from being able to come and find a spot of green.
Music is something that's always been a huge part of my life.
I spent most of my life watching HBO series wishing that at some point in my career I might be able to work with them.
I've read all the 'Game of Thrones' books many times over, so I sometimes find it easier being on set, because it can be hard to get out of character.
The calibre of TV's changing. It's becoming much more epic. To rival film, definitely.
I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing.
I came out of my mum's stomach going, 'I want to be an actor!'
After my last audition for 'Game of Thrones,' they said, 'Congratulations, princess.' I was like, 'Bye-bye, call centre.'
I cannot contain this. Please, can we all have something sexual together? You're both beautiful, even just a hug.'
I'm really old-fashioned. An Epsom salt bath, that's genuinely better than any massage.
Valyrian is oddly easier than Dothraki. It's got a more lyrical flow to it that feels more familiar to the way I speak. That makes it slightly easier.
I learned more doing 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' than I did during three years at drama school.
My mother taught me to cleanse, tone, and moisturize twice a day, so I always do that - I could be partying or working late, but I'm never too tired to take care of my skin.
