I came out of my mum's stomach going, 'I want to be an actor!'
I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, and they were getting ready for a life of unemployment, so they're just happy I'm in work!
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 want to be known for my acting, not for my breasts.
One of the shows I would very much love to be a part of is 'Mad Men' - walking around that office.
My dad's a sound designer, and he used to take me to work with him.
My favorite Hepburn moment is in 'Sabrina,' when she steps off a boat in white shorts and a plaid shirt. Chic, classic, and unfussy.
Never in a million years did I think 'Game of Thrones' was going to take off like it did.
I think 'Game Of Thrones' is incredibly true to the books. I think the fans will, hopefully, be very pleased with how true to the books we are.
I wear tinted moisturized since, on the stage, we tend to wear such heavy stage makeup.
My normal stuff is Dr. Perricone's hypoallergenic range. I have incredibly sensitive skin, so I struggled to find anything because my skin would react to so much stuff.
I find that a lot of the good acting comes out when you're physically being pushed: your brain turns off and just deals with the situation at hand. You get to a point where you're exhausted at the end of the day, but I quite like that.
I actually don't get massages very much. But Epsom salt baths are better than any massage.
When I was in my teens, I thought, 'Would I like to try and work hard at being an actor, or do I want to work hard at doing something musical?' Acting won out, but I do really enjoy those moments where I get to just belt something out.
