school
I was at a rough high school where admitting you were an actor didn't go down well.
demands expecting life man onto parallels responsibility stark weight
Robb Stark was a young man not expecting anything, thinking his life is going to be on one path, and then he's pushed. More weight and responsibility get put onto him; more demands are made of him. For me, as an actor, there are parallels to that.
sam scene since watched work
I think meeting someone like, meeting Sam Shepard, that was someone who was kind of important for me, because I'd read so much of his work and watched him as an actor since I was a kid, then being on set doing a scene with him and thinking, 'This is really surreal.'
age bit school suddenly
I was always a bit old for my age, then suddenly I'm on set, working alongside the adults, skipping school completely for two years.
characters delicate people portray worship
You have to be delicate with how you can portray characters other people are having a worship over.
build love
I just love to be able to actually build a character.
lyrics watched
I have two sisters, so we watched all of the Disney films. I think I still know the lyrics to them all.
carpet expected hate red
I hate all the red carpet stuff. It's weird, because it's part of what's expected of you now.
hard
I don't find it hard to stay humble.
diverse months pick
I always try to pick my parts to be as diverse as I can, and especially when you do 'Game of Thrones' for so many months of the year.
'Game of Thrones' couldn't be a movie. There's too much in it. You couldn't do it justice.
shakespeare
Doing Shakespeare on stage with Kenneth Branagh, I don't think it gets better than that.
bounce camera good half stuff year
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.
good people survive
Good people never survive on 'Game of Thrones.' That's the problem.
