Kit Harington

“I try not to read the social networks too much. I find that way madness lies.”

“I have a wild streak, but I like to keep that very much for my friends.”

“I actually don't do much to my hair. It gets fussed over a lot on projects because there's a lot of it, and it's boy's hair, but as far as me, I tend to let it do what it wants.”

“On a serious level, I wouldn't tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldn't ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life.”

“I find you can lose yourself in an acting sense in a fight far more easily than you can in a dialogue scene, and I love that about it. We try as actors all the time: we strive just to completely sort of lose ourselves in the moment, and we never quite get there, but in a fight, you can do it in seconds; that is what I love about it.”

“There's an unhealthy obsession in America with royalty and the class system.”

“Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.”

“There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.”

“I studied history when I was at school, at A-level, actually. I wouldn't profess to being very knowledgeable though, no.”

“I'm a terrible packer. I don't pack lots and lots because I think I'll wear everything, I pack a lot because I never know what I'm going to need. I always go over the weight limit.”

“I trained in theater. And I started in theater with my first two jobs doing stage plays.”

“When I was 14, I saw 'Waiting for Godot.' It's one of those plays that if it's done badly is absolutely dire and can put you off acting for life. But I was laughing all the way through it.”

“There's a huge difference between stage fighting and real sword fighting.”

“I like a girl who does not take me seriously, you know? It's important to be able to laugh at each other.”

“I've always hated my voice. You sound different in your head when you hear it out loud.”

“You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.”

“I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.”

“'How to Train Your Dragon,' the first one, was a film I'd seen prior to being approached for the sequel. I don't often watch family animated movies, but it's one that I loved and thought was really well done: beautifully crafted storytelling.”

“Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.”

“I remember I had to play a blind person once, and I did this stupid thing with my eyes, and I knew the minute I started it I'd made a mistake.”
