You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

I like young actors because they're so unspoiled, not like some of those actors who are about half an hour into their fifteen minutes of fame by the time they get to me.

I kind of started 'Game of Thrones' as a really young actor and not a lot on my CV.

I'm a huge 'Game of Thrones' fan.

Each cast member brings their own vibe and antics to the set. You're constantly surrounded by fun loving people who can make you laugh in their own way.

I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

There are many actors I admire, but I always look at people who have done a variety of roles - people such as Simon Russell Beale or Ralph Fiennes.
