As a kid, growing up, as far as I was concerned, I was Luke Skywalker. Any sort of small victory or any adversity I would come up against at school, I was like, 'How would Luke Skywalker deal with this?' Everybody was the Empire; anybody who bullied me at school was the Empire.

So I thought either Grey Grey Worm or Missandei, that one would be taken from another. I honestly thought Grey Worm was gone in that episode, and I even had that thought :' Take me !' She's come through so much s ** t that she's had to deal with her life. As soon as it looks like they're about to enjoy it, it all gets snatched away. So I didn't expect it and I had to lay down the script for a bit.

I would like this not to become a situation where others don't report based on the outcome of this case, each case is different, and we really do need the victim's involvement.

Gender equality should be talked about far more than it currently is ... it doesn't make sense that women and men don't have equal rights.

I want to be rich enough that, without being cruel, I could buy a horse, a white horse, and permanently attach a horn. A pearlescent horn. And then I could just be like, 'Yeah, I have a unicorn.' But I don't know how you do that without being cruel.

I don't want to be scared. I want to keep taking risks, keep working hard.

More than anything, acting was more like a confidence thing. I love words - I love English - but I don't have a hugely academic brain, so I enjoyed it because it was a bit of a respite. I don't think I really had a sense I would actually be a musician or an actor; I just wanted to be around that.

For me, I could not wait to get out of school, but at the same time, you miss the people.

My head is filled with things I think I should be doing or should've done already. I slow down because I doubt myself or I get anxious or have a bout of depression. Then I have to build my confidence back up, and once that happens, then I power through until the next time.

I need all of my songs while I'm writing them, because I need to get the stuff out of my body and out of my brain. I write out of necessity, not because I want to be a pop star.

A good rapper is an amazing thing to me. It's like a 17th-, 18th-century poet.

I'm definitely introverted, and I like my own company, and I can keep my head down while I'm going about my day, but then I do have spells of mad hyperactivity.

I'm kind of... I'm a sci-fi fan, and I like horror; I'm a genre fan... but fantasy's not really ever something I've gotten into.

I hadn't watched 'Lord of the Rings' - I'm gonna get so much flack for this, but I hadn't watched 'Lord of the Rings' when I started watching 'Game of Thrones.'

I watch films and TV almost like as a hobby - not even as a hobby: it's bordering on careerist. It would be easier to tell you what I'm not into than what I am.

I would never have a listening party! That's super awkward. Having to watch other people listen to or appraise something you've done is the most uncomfortable experience you could ever have.

I'm generally a fairly shy, withheld person. But when I get onstage, I get a bit mad.

I wanted to write or direct more than I wanted to be in front of the camera. I still occasionally feel completely uncomfortable being looked at.

'Time in a Tree' is a song about when you find yourself in a busy state of mind, which I often find myself in. Sometimes it can feel like you can't physically get out of it, or you can't mentally or physically bring yourself out of that... it's like having traffic in your brain.
