Doing the sword fighting is like picking up a dance routine... I think dancing really helps with the picking up of it.
People throw insults at you, and sometimes they hit a nerve - and it's about not showing that, because they will pick on that. Don't feed the trolls!
Going out is the typical thing when you turn 18, but it's not really much fun when you have a recognisable face.
I'd much rather be liked because people realize that I'm standing up for myself.
I like shocking people just because, like, I can wear a dress, too. Not even for people to go, 'Oh she's grown up,' but to show people that I'm actually a girl.
I'm used to being part of 'Game of Thrones' and going into something where you're a small part of something else. You don't want to hold anything up because they've got such a well-oiled machine going.
No one teaches you how to be a famous person; no one teaches you how to be a role model. It's something you have to do on your own.
I'm used to being a small part of a massive production.
I'm never really going to be the normal teenager.
I don't have to be making a lot of money or living in a fancy house.
When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.
I'd never want to be trapped. I never like to stay in one place too long. I always flit around, I never settle anywhere. So being married would be being trapped.
You hear horror stories about scary mothers who just want their kids to be famous. I could be waitressing in a restaurant, and my mum would be happy as long as I was happy.
I've never really done acting before, 'cause dancing was my first love. And then, I sort of fell into it from a talent competition and never really looked back.
