I'm used to being part of 'Game of Thrones' and going into something where you're a small part of something else. You don't want to hold anything up because they've got such a well-oiled machine going.
I'm never really going to be the normal teenager.
I'm never going to do something that I don't want to do, because I've been given the opportunity to not have to do that.
I know things aren't perfect for women in the U.K. and in America, but there are women in the rest of the world who have it far worse.
I like the fact that when you're put into a really extreme situation, you put everything else aside. You put your ego aside and get on with it, and I quite like that.
I like 'Glee' a lot. It's kind of like my guilty pleasure.
I like shocking people just because, like, I can wear a dress, too. Not even for people to go, 'Oh she's grown up,' but to show people that I'm actually a girl.
I hope there are going to be plenty of more roles to come.
I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.
I'm used to being a small part of a massive production.
I've had a fast track to who I want to be. I know all of my friends are struggling to what to pick in college, and I've been given a fast pass to kick start my future.
Oh, the cat I worked with on 'Game of Thrones' was so badly behaved! It would never do anything it was supposed to do. I was like, 'Get your game together, cat. You're so bad.'
It's huge in the U.K., if someone's doing well, to put them down. That's what we do all the time. It's kind of like a cultural thing.
Sleep is my best friend when we're shooting 'Game of Thrones' because there are very long days and intense scenes.
