People ask me, 'Isn't it scary living on your own?' but in this industry, being at events, doing interviews, and doing promotion and constantly chatting about yourself, sometimes it's really nice to just sit in silence or take a day where you can sleep in until 3 P.M. and then stay up as late as you like.
No one is born evil; it's just the choices that they make.
My family are the epicenter of all my decisions.
No one teaches you how to be a famous person; no one teaches you how to be a role model. It's something you have to do on your own.

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 helpful to have a handbag that's a bit crazy, or shoes that have kiwis on them or something, because it distracts.
I feel like a lot of people would quite easily stab you in the back once they get what they want. And you see that in people.
