If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world, and you want to succeed. People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey.
My bucket list tends to relate to travel or eating.
I just want to work on things that move me.
It would be an amazing superpower to be able to make every person you meet feel better about the thing that makes them insecure.
I grew up actually reading 'The Hobbit,' not 'The Lord of the Rings.' I loved 'The Hobbit' growing up.
The worst kind of lying I've ever done is keeping things from people.
The approach of 'Game of Thrones' is similar to 'The Lord of the Rings' in that it treats its source material almost like history, and it focuses as much on the human drama as it does on anything fantastical.
I think 'The Lord of the Rings' holds perhaps a deeper place in people's hearts than 'The Hobbit' the book does.
I'm kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed.
This bizarre industry presents so many paths of temptation. If you don't have some kind of foundation, typically from family, then it will be difficult to deal with.
I have always kept a pretty healthy separation between my work in my film and my life outside of it.
The older I've gotten, the more I've gotten a little precious about music-related films as it comes to biopics. I kind of don't want to see it; I'd rather see a documentary. And this is just coming from me. I love music documentaries; I kind of don't want to see people embodying those people.
As much as my primary vocation is that of an actor, if anything, I feel like I am more excited about filmmaking in general, so it's not always a specific role that I'm attracted to, but rather an entire piece that I want to be a part of.
What's so strong about 'Game of Thrones' is that it's a character and political drama, with a sort of fantasy backdrop.
Many of my friends are not in the film industry, and I feel like it's healthy. It's not totally by choice. It is, perhaps, people I connect with.
