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.

I do prefer playing baddies because you can push being horrible as far as you want.
It annoys me when people can't differentiate between the character and the actor, which is a little bit silly.
I have no complaints about my childhood.
My advice to any teenager would be don't try too hard - just get on with it. That's what I did. Have fun; enjoy life.
Big sisters exaggerate.
Maybe I've got a bully's face, but I like playing baddies.
I like to get home, flop on the couch, and watch Sky Sports News. I'm just your average bloke.
Meeting Peter Dinklage was just great.
It's not about the money; it's about the content.
We went to Ibiza, and I was on Ritalin, and, for a kid who couldn't concentrate, I read a 200-page book on King Arthur, and my mum just hated it. She said it just wasn't me.
It's amazing. I love being an uncle.
You can say to actors that you've got to be the character and really get into it, but you have to make it realistic by bringing an element of yourself into it.
I'm really lovely and sensitive.
I don't have any fear of turning 30. But maybe that's because I know I'm never going to be 30 mentally at any point in my life!
For years, my dad's friend Joe was just my dad's friend. And it was only when I was 12 or 13 I learned that he was the lead singer of a band called The Clash.
I actually love pressure. 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.
I actually love pressure.
My mum wouldn't do a film for money. She does it as a passion. That's why she's involved in things that are so brilliant. She really cares about what she does.
I've got rid of the ADD, but I do find it hard to concentrate sometimes.
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 said I would like to do some theatre, so people started searching for some jobs for me, and I didn't think it would be the lead role in 'Equus.'
I was a big Damon Hill fan, and I loved Michael Schumacher.
I'm not interested in 'lovey dovey,' everything is so great in the world. That doesn't interest me at all.
I didn't go to drama school, so I didn't really have many true friends in the business; 'Game Of Thrones' has definitely brought me that.
Richard Madden, I loved to work alongside him; he's a very funny man.
A lot of people have the misconception that I decided to become an actor when Lily became famous and have accused me of jumping on her bandwagon. But that's completely untrue.
I just loved going fast. I still enjoy go-karting. I was also good at rugby, and my dad wanted me to be a sportsman, but I never thought I could do sports professionally.
I'm really bad at keeping secrets.
I think that's how any actor would make their performance convincing: by bringing an element of themselves into the character.
I'm definitely not a bad guy in real life.
When I was a kid, I was roaming through Glastonbury Festival at eight years old, on my own. I say 'on my own', but I was probably with my oldest sister Sarah, and she would have been 13 or 14 at the time, so she'd have been walking us around. But I got to go places and meet people, and was trusted a lot, without a doubt.
I'm not an experienced sailor.
There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life, and I hated it being imposed on me at school.
'Game of Thrones' is my big break, so I've got to make the most of it, keep acting well.
I remember being in St. Lucia and my dad taking me out on a jet ski. I was very young, too young, but, yup, dad does like to break rules.
Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.
I'm pretty body-confident after losing weight for 'Thrones.'
I've always wanted to get into theatre.
I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a kid.
I was never a gym person before 'Game Of Thrones.' The idea of it was a bore to me - and it kind of still is - but I had a problem with my knee, so I can't play sport as much as I'd like to.
I would like to think that I'm always honest with myself and others. I guess that's what makes me a half-decent actor.
It's great when you see things on a massive scale and you see these huge sets, but it's not the be-all and end-all - it can be about characters as well.
I did have a problem concentrating on anything for more than 10 seconds. I was one of the first kids in the U.K. to go on Ritalin, and my mum hated it, and I hated it.
Acting has never been a thing that me and my dad have talked about. It's like footballers: when they get together, I bet the last thing they talk about is football.
I saw a psychiatrist when I was younger because I had ADHD, and I had some problems with authority, so I guess I can kind of relate to that in a way. I know what it's liked to be probed and to be asked questions where people are looking for a certain answer and are trying to pull something out of your answer.
Obviously, in theatre, you work chronologically, so you kind of know where your emotions are supposed to be, and you're always on top of things, and as an actor, you always know what's coming next.
It's fun playing the bad guy. It comes naturally.
I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.
Finn Jones, me and him hang out a lot.
