Just before my 16th birthday, Natalie Dormer said to me, 'As soon as you turn 16, you're going to work adult hours. People will try take advantage of you, so it's important not to be a pushover.'
I would love to work with Jack Nicholson, Saoirse Ronan, Michael Shannon and James Franco in the future. I think those actors are amazing, and they are my favourite actors by far.
Stephen Daldry would be a director that I would love to work with as well as Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and I'm very lucky to have worked with Isabel Coixet, who is also one of my favourite directors.
When I was younger, my mum used to dress me in, like, lime green leggings with a matching neon jumper and hair scrunch, so I'd say I've definitely progressed since then in terms of style.
When I was growing up, I always saw Karen Millen as a resource for women who were a bit older.
When I was fifteen, I got a Tiffany's necklace from the producers of 'Game of Thrones' with my character's name Sansa engraved on it.
Obviously I've had crushes, and I've tried to make things work with people, but it doesn't when you're away so much. I like to think, 'Don't go looking for it; it'll happen when it wants to happen.'
On 'Game of Thrones,' all of my closest friends are 30 upwards, which is quite strange.
I used to fancy Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I didn't tell him that when we worked together on 'Another Me.'
Root for the girls who wear dresses and are intellectually very strong.
I feel the pressure to be toned, yeah, and everyone's going on about the thigh gap, but I like food more than exercise, so I'll just carry on that way.
You don't want to be innocent in the world of 'Game of Thrones.'
I find it quite easy to get in and out of character. I don't know why - I guess it's my job.
I don't get any dates; that's the thing.
