When I play a villain, I usually get home and sleep straight through the night. It's physically and emotionally draining.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, when I'm making a movie I like to stay in character throughout the day.
Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
When I was younger - I don't do this too much now - but sometimes if I couldn't sleep, I would lie in bed and imagine all the characters I've played at a dinner table together.
Sleep is my best friend when we're shooting 'Game of Thrones' because there are very long days and intense scenes.
Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.
I tend to sleep a lot.
I sleep better on the road than I do at home. I'm used to sleeping in a million different hotels. I'm not home very often, so when I get home, I have things I want to do.
I find the trick to playing a villain is that you can't be bad for the sake of being bad. It has to be rooted in some sort of heartbreak.
It's so fun to play a villain. I get to tap into a side of myself I thought I never had.
You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.
