Actor

I've always wanted to get into theatre.

Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.

I wasn't expelled for anything vicious, just being cheeky, not doing what I was told, answering back, and always rising to the bait if someone said something annoying about my dad.

I'm not interested in 'lovey dovey,' everything is so great in the world. That doesn't interest me at all.

There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life, and I hated it being imposed on me at school.

I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.

One thing I would say is that I think in any environment that you work in, there's always going to be one or two people who you don't like. But there just wasn't that on 'Games Of Thrones'. I know it sounds cheesy and cliched, but it was like a big family.

Maybe I've got a bully's face, but I like playing baddies.

Although I have fantastic connections, I didn't know as a child what feeling secure meant.

I'm pretty body-confident after losing weight for 'Thrones.'

I'm really lovely and sensitive.

Richard Madden, I loved to work alongside him; he's a very funny man.

I have to work hard to be punctual, to not lose my temper, take direction and be told what to do - and most of all listen rather than talk.

I'm really bad at keeping secrets.

I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.

I haven't had a lot of 'Games Of Thrones' groupies. The fans seem to be really nice. They don't seem that invasive.

I have no complaints about my childhood.

I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a kid.

Big sisters exaggerate.

It annoys me when people can't differentiate between the character and the actor, which is a little bit silly.
