Horrible things happen all our lives; we all experience loss and death and trauma. Usually, most people, I think, we just get on with it. We don't have a whole soliloquy in the middle of something.
Divorce is always terrible, but I haven't met anyone who went through it and isn't happier now.
I know nothing more annoying when people I don't know jump to conclusions on my person based on nothing but gossip or speculation.
Fart jokes still work for me.
Personally, I think fidelity is important. I don't see any point in being together if you're not being honest, having fun together, and respecting one another. Why would you stay in a relationship otherwise?
As an actor, secrets and obstacles fuel the character.
If you look at most of the Royal Houses in Europe, the inbreeding was pretty outstanding.
The only thing I find difficult to watch - horror movies - not that I don't like them. Like 'The Shining,' it's one of my favorite movies, but it's terrifying. I feel like I've watched a marathon afterwards.
I'm in a monogamous relationship and have been for many, many years. I think it's a choice. I don't think you can generalize, though, and what works for me may not work for other people, but I don't think everybody cheats. We're all different.
I've never understood why you would turn down a great role.
There's a Danish architecture firm called BIG. I love architecture, and I always check out their work; they're very good at reimagining the way we live. They put the human experience as the focus, with access to air and outdoor space.
The more secrets and twists in a character, the better.
When I was a kid I was always afraid of small dogs, because they always seemed like the ones that would attack.
Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be an actor.
I like to be comfortable.
I think we all have the capacity of evil in us.
I like to wear beautiful clothes, but I don't have that many.
What's great about 'Game of Thrones' is they change the perspective, the POV, all the time. So you will have one story told by one character and you'll go, 'Oh my God, horrible', and then maybe the season after you have the same story told but from the person you thought was just the most horrible, vile creature.
I'm a fan of great storytelling.
There's something liberating about watching someone not following the rules.
