When I see a fan coming over, I can't help but make an assumption about what they want to talk about. A middle-aged American woman will head over, and I think, 'Game of Thrones.' Turns out it's 'The Tudors' or 'Elementary' or 'The Hunger Games.' It's always a surprise.

When I was a little girl, my grandfather, who I was very close to, used to grow yellow roses. He had yellow roses growing all the way up his drive.

Everything that I do to my own hair and makeup I learned from professionals.

We live in one of the most complex ages for young, professional women.

We don't have enough young, female antiheroes. We don't accept women as antiheroes the way we do the men.

Women are over 50 percent of the population.

I have been to Canada several times. It was autumn when I visited Vancouver, and I will always remember the colour of the trees in British Columbia were stunning.

I've taken my clothes off enough in my career.

I love my camera crews on all my jobs. It's the half of the job that the audience never gets to see. They're integral. They're as much a part of making a movie or television show as I am.

I did every job under the sun from bartending to ushering to temping.

Madonna is completely down-to-earth. She's an absolute professional.

The most amazing set where I've shot 'Game of Thrones' is definitely Croatia, in Dubrovnik. It's such a stunning country with lots of good watersports there as well. Just a beautiful, beautiful place.
