So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!

One of my first days shooting on 'Game of Thrones' was possibly the coldest day I've ever experienced in my life, and that sticks out especially because I'd never, ever done anything before.

Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.

Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.

One approaches the journey's end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe.

I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.

Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.

Cease-fire is important, but it can last only for a very, very, very short time.
