I kind of started 'Game of Thrones' as a really young actor and not a lot on my CV.
No one in safe in 'Game of Thrones.'
I only have an awareness of what I'm trying to achieve as an actor and what my job as the character is to service.
Robb Stark was a young man not expecting anything, thinking his life is going to be on one path, and then he's pushed. More weight and responsibility get put onto him; more demands are made of him. For me, as an actor, there are parallels to that.
If ever anyone comes up to me, it's usually like, 'You look really like that guy on that show.' And you're like, 'Really?' And they're like, 'Yeah. Cool. See you later.' And you're like, 'Cool, man.'
I played Romeo when I was younger, and I think I did a couple kind Romeo-like parts after that, and I kind of went, 'I mustn't do this again. I must always choose something that I don't know if I'm a good enough actor to play.'
I love 'Doctor Who.'
I think I need to film something tropical on a beach in a bar.
I hate all the red carpet stuff. It's weird, because it's part of what's expected of you now.
I think I'd much rather have a wooden stick and metallic ball than a real dire wolf on set.
'Game of Thrones' couldn't be a movie. There's too much in it. You couldn't do it justice.
I know people like Jon Snow a lot.
I'm lucky to get jobs where I get these amazing film horses that make me look much better than I am.
Good people never survive on 'Game of Thrones.' That's the problem.
Oh, I am not naturally gifted in dancing in any way! Stupidly, I didn't go to those classes in drama school. I was like, 'I don't need that; I'll never be dancing in anything.'
To be with Derek Jacobi and Stellan Skarsgard, it's a master class in acting every day.
I've watched 'Doctor Who' since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS.
I just love to be able to actually build a character.
Doing Shakespeare on stage with Kenneth Branagh, I don't think it gets better than that.
I went to drama school in Scotland.
You learn something new on every film.
The costume affects your posture, affects your walk, how you hold yourself, and how you breathe. The costumes make you deliver.
I have such pride in my job.
The concept of a woman with a terrible life who needs a man to come and rescue her, doesn't apply and isn't something we should probably be teaching kids.Collection: Teaching
Dancing is not one of my talents. But when you've had a few drinks anyone is a good dancer, right?Collection: Dancing
Cinderella could not be more wonderful, as a woman. You're with her, the whole film. I had to create a guy that was worthy of her affections, and that was difficult.Collection: Guy
I like clothes and fashion. It's a hobby for me and I really enjoy being part of it, so it's nice when people say: 'He can dress quite well.Collection: Fashion
You have to throw yourself into a situation of trust with these things, especially that first day when you don't know someone and you're on a massive Disney Hollywood movie set.Collection: Hollywood
I didn't get dizzy, but I love working with horses.Collection: Horse
I'm not naturally a gifted dancer, and I don't enjoy it. I didn't go to any of those classes in drama school 'cause I was like, "I'm not going to dance. I don't need to learn to dance." I regret that.Collection: Regret
I trained three or four days a week for two and a half months, before they'd even let me near the real dress. And I destroyed two practice dresses completely. They were just ripped to shreds. They looked like cats had gotten a hold of them.Collection: Real
