I'm really old-fashioned. An Epsom salt bath, that's genuinely 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.
I wear tinted moisturized since, on the stage, we tend to wear such heavy stage makeup.
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.
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.
'Elizabeth' is something I've looked to a lot for a strong female leader.
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.
American naturalism is what my indulgent actor side loves: a bit of Tennessee Williams, a bit of Clifford Odets, August Wilson - I would just love to tackle some of that.
I tried a robin heart once. It wasn't very good.
Any opportunity to get into fashion and find a beautiful dress, I'm very definitely excited about that.
When I'm on stage, I feel very much at home - within a theater, within an ensemble - so this entire process is something I feel very attuned with.
Living in London as a student is tough. And my heart goes out to every single drama student in London because, as an actor, it's a creative process that you are taking on, and if you don't get to do it every day, it hurts.
You have to do whatever jobs you can to pay the rent.
Personally, I'd like as many children as I can pop out, I reckon.
