Quote

It's a writer's or director's role to be cerebral, whereas for an actor it should be a visceral, gut thing. When the action starts, it's best to turn the brain off and let it become an instinctual thing.

We accept women being complete c-nts if they’re doing it for a child.

I love going out of my comfort zone—I live to go out of my comfort zone. Obviously, you have quieter years than others—you don’t go jumping out of a plane every day.

I'm a quasi-only child. With my brother and sister, I've more of a tendency to be semi-maternal. So, yes, I spent a lot of time talking to myself - I had this big dressing-up box and would just dress up as lots of characters and talk back to myself... Verging on schizophrenia, I suppose, if you analyse it carefully.

Cersei took so many of us out in the last episode and she's really turned dark even Jaime Lannister can see that, so I don't think that Cersei Lannister is long for her Westeros world. I hope she's not.

I was a very physical child... I was a tree-climber I was a tomboy.

I know I'm not a conventional beauty. You can read a lot of painful things on the Internet, which criticise you aesthetically - but as far as I'm concerned, that's not what an actress is.

I feel that we live in an age where everyone's trying to reduce, and soundbite, and cut it down to140 characters, and that's not what life is.

We're getting caught up with labels: Nudity: bad. It's not about nudity: bad. It's about gratuitous oversexualization of children it's complicated.

Image
I think that's the most dangerous kind of sexism: People don't realize it's there and we end up surreptitiously accepting it because it's just part of our culture. I've never experienced explicit, overt, confrontational sexism personally.

I say I’m an atheist but I wouldn’t mind being visited by a ghost.

I don't think you have to live in the fantasy world of Westeros to have problems with your mother-in-law.

I had a period of unemployment for about nine months after my first big break, and it's the greatest lesson I ever could have learned, never to believe you're home and dry.

I’ve spent a lot of recreational time walking around historical castles and estates, in Britain and Europe, and so I know what the real thing looks like

Problems reconciling mom and the wife are difficult in the best of times.

All the pins stuck in my head from the wig. I would set off a metal detector. And you know when your head gets really itchy? So when the wig gets put on at like 5:30, 6 A.M., and you can't take it off until 7 P.M. - I won't miss all the pins scratching against my scalp.

I think we have to monitor our minds the way we need to monitor our bodies.

I don't believe in nudity for nudity's sake, nothing gratuitous.

I was a daydreamer as a kid. I want to act because of whatever artistic bone is in my body. I want to explore what it is to be alive. I just want to make good sh-t.
