Actor

I know people like Jon Snow a lot.

No one in safe in 'Game of Thrones.'

I like to try to change things up a bit in the way that actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman or Michael Fassbender did and do.

There's no background of creativity in my family; there are no actors or musicians.

My best friend was really cool, and she went to a youth theatre in Paisley, so I thought maybe that's the way to do it. I went along, and I immediately found something I was passionate about and really enjoyed.

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

I was always a bit old for my age, then suddenly I'm on set, working alongside the adults, skipping school completely for two years.

I need to kind of get a job that's going to take me to, like, Hawaii or Rio or something, right? Maybe I need to make better decisions with that.

I think I need to film something tropical on a beach in a bar.

I was at a rough high school where admitting you were an actor didn't go down well.

I'd love to do something on Broadway. I'd love to spend some time in New York.

I think meeting someone like, meeting Sam Shepard, that was someone who was kind of important for me, because I'd read so much of his work and watched him as an actor since I was a kid, then being on set doing a scene with him and thinking, 'This is really surreal.'

I was a nervous kid, not great socially.

I don't find it hard to stay humble.
