geek love since watched
I've watched 'Doctor Who' since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS.
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.
worse
I thought 'Game of Thrones' had this challenge in filming, and it's one of those things you think, 'It can't get worse than this,' because it's really cold, and you're in pain, and it's miserable.
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.'
characters delicate people portray worship
You have to be delicate with how you can portray characters other people are having a worship over.
horse dizzy
I didn't get dizzy, but I love working with horses.
smart important comfort
When I'm not working, I like to be comfortable. I do like to dress smart, but comfort is important.
couple years tv-shows
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them.
names ideas world
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.
shakespeare
Doing Shakespeare on stage with Kenneth Branagh, I don't think it gets better than that.
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.
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.
lyrics watched
I have two sisters, so we watched all of the Disney films. I think I still know the lyrics to them all.
amongst deal kid known peers school taught tv
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them. It's not easy being known as 'the kid from the TV show.' Not in school it's not.
