arrogant complex love seems starts
I love the character of Jaime Lannister. He's just so complex - a character that we love to hate - but it's a lot more complex than hatred. It starts off, and he seems so arrogant and so smug.
dedicated exist medieval seems sort specific time
'Game of Thrones' is a fantasy show not dedicated to any specific time, but it seems to exist in sort of a 1400s medieval fantasy world, and in that setting, I wouldn't have had a six-pack.
absolutely campaign expansion global great love oprah seems
I absolutely love Oprah Winfrey. What a great woman and a great businesswoman. She seems to really campaign for an expansion of global consciousness. I think she's phenomenal.
embraced far genre incredibly
The fantasy genre has so far rather embraced me, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.
amazing life tender
If I were amazing with a sword, I wouldn't care about the tender things in life.
aspects hard remove
It's very hard as a tall woman to remove your deliberately pronounced feminine aspects and look more masculine.
female harold lived married outside prolific relationship sir virginia
Vita Sackville-West is one of my favorite female icons. She was a writer and a prolific gardener, but she also had a relationship with Virginia Woolf, and she was married to Sir Harold Nicolson. She was a woman who lived outside of norms.
The whole format of 'Game of Thrones' is that you just don't know what to expect.
life people
People come up to me and say, 'You look so much better in real life.'
bush karaoke kate sing songs theatrical
I used to do karaoke with Patrick Woolf in a karaoke box, and he would ring me up and say, 'Come down and do karaoke with me here,' and then we'd sing Kate Bush songs and get really, really emotional and theatrical in the booth.
I've always been able to look very different very easily.
chance female globally power saying topic
I would chance saying globally there is a feeling that female empowerment has, at last, become a topic that is fashionable, and more power to that.
charles love peter work
I'd love to work with Lena Headey, Alfie Allen, Charles Dance. I'd love to work with Peter Dinklage.
brought messages women
Occasionally I get messages from women saying that I've brought them some joy, and that's unbelievably thrilling.
