One thing I would say is that I think in any environment that you work in, there’s always going to be one or two people who you don’t like. But there just wasn’t that on ‘Games Of Thrones’. I know it sounds cheesy and cliched, but it was like a big family.

I got interested in astronomy at the age of 8 because I was looking at an atlas of the planets in my parents’ apartment in Arlington, where I grew up. I got a telescope at age 10, which is pretty normal, and by the time I was in eighth grade, I had already seen a lot of cheesy sci-fi films.
