My favorite Hepburn moment is in 'Sabrina,' when she steps off a boat in white shorts and a plaid shirt. Chic, classic, and unfussy.
I have very sensitive skin, so I have to care for it properly.
'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.
Any opportunity to get into fashion and find a beautiful dress, I'm very definitely excited about that.
My dad's a sound designer, and he used to take me to work with him.
One of the shows I would very much love to be a part of is 'Mad Men' - walking around that office.
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.
Never in a million years did I think 'Game of Thrones' was going to take off like it did.
I tried a robin heart once. It wasn't very good.
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.
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 want to be known for my acting, not for my breasts.
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.
