I always feel for the younger cast members in ‘Game of Thrones.’ They’re really clever and smart.
I’ve never done a big series like ‘Game of Thrones’ before. All I knew was that it was HBO, and I’d seen what they had done with ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘The Wire.’ But when I started reading the script, it was a no-brainer. Yes, yes, yes. Gold. Every time I turned the page.
‘Game of Thrones’ is amazing.
Dialogue is something I don’t get a lot of on ‘Game of Thrones.’

HBO spent a huge amount of money on ‘Game Of Thrones,’ and it won’t be able to keep spending the money if it can’t make it back from people watching it legitimately. It will have an effect on the quality of the programme.
I love how ‘Game of Thrones’ has resonated with so many people around the world. I feel like it has really tapped into our need to hear stories about the human condition, love, death, good, evil… For me, it really is a modern version of the old Greek theatre or cave men sitting around fires telling stories.
Something that ‘Game of Thrones’ always does successfully is that action sequences are never just action sequences. There’s always a point of view, and you’re always identifying with one person or one group of people.
The weird thing is, ‘Game of Thrones,’ people go to Iceland for three weeks, and it’d be like a small guerilla operation. ‘Thor,’ we went there for, like, five days, because we couldn’t afford to be there any longer, because we were airlifting the entire contents of Hollywood into this country.
The caliber of people that I’ve worked with, there’ll never be another ‘Game of Thrones’ crew, and it’s a situation in which I feel truly is the cornerstone of my career.

Jen Lawrence is quite a fan of ‘Game of Thrones.’
If ‘Game Of Thrones’ hadn’t been made, I don’t think ‘The Last Kingdom’ would have been, but this is more grounded in real life.
I think that it’s interesting how shows like ‘Walking Dead’ or even ‘Game of Thrones,’ with all its fantasy elements, have become so popular. Sometimes, though, I get a little bit annoyed because the whole nerd thing taking over and is now cool, and it wasn’t cool when I was younger.
The biggest challenge directing the final season of ‘Game of Thrones’ is just the importance of getting it right.
It’s part of the magic of ‘Game of Thrones,’ all the secrets.
Google is the enemy. I would tell that to anyone who enjoys any TV show like ‘Game of Thrones’ to avoid it; it spoils so many storylines.
Nina Gold is a fantastic casting director. She’s doing the new ‘Star Wars’ movies, but she also does ‘Game of Thrones’ and many of the Working Title movies, and she did ‘Rush.’
I’m obsessed with ‘Game of Thrones.’ I love comedies – I really like ’30 Rock’ and ‘Modern Family.’
Everyone likes fantasy to get away from everyday life, but I think ‘Game of Thrones’ is not like fairies and unicorns. It’s very relatable to everyday life. It’s not too fantastic – just a little bit.

The most exciting thing about joining ‘Game Of Thrones’ is joining ‘Game Of Thrones.’
Funnily enough, I had a real giggle with Gary Oldman when we were doing an interview together for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’ Because I joked I was probably the only British actor who wasn’t in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise. The same is true of ‘Game of Thrones.’ Also ‘Star Wars.’
What’s so cool about ‘Light of the Seven’ – and what I love about ‘Game of Thrones’ – is you never know what’s going to happen.
Gleeful, unembarrassed ruthlessness, once rightly kept in check, has become normal among us, and ‘Game Of Thrones’ is a success because this change is now more or less complete.

Whenever I get any of the ‘Game of Thrones’ scripts, it’s always like, ‘oh my God, how am I going to do this?’ It’s a sort of performance anxiety about being able to do a good job.
I remember starting ‘Game of Thrones,’ everyone said ‘you have to watch it,’ but I thought ‘it’s science fiction, it’s not real, it’s nothing.’ I gave it a go and then couldn’t stop watching it.
The guys on ‘Game of Thrones’ trust me implicitly to take care of the action stuff. I don’t mess with their drama, but they allow me to come up with ideas like ‘Hey, what if the giant had a bow? And what if he shot some guy off the wall?’ With ‘Constantine,’ too, they really trust me to scare the audience.
Nothing is impossible on ‘Game of Thrones.’
I loved studying the Medieval world; that’s why I love ‘Game of Thrones.’
‘Game of Thrones’ has kind of got the Midas touch, certainly for the lead actors and those recurring guest stars. It’s the show that can do no wrong because it’s so well produced. My contribution is short, but I think, in my mind, it was sweet because it involved such elaborate scenes.
‘Game of Thrones’ is taking dense novels and trying to shrink it all down to a slightly manageable series in the sense that there are so many characters and so many locations.
Everyone knows everyone because we’ve all worked in theatre. All of our ‘Dublin Murders’ crew came from ‘Game of Thrones’. Also, we only drink in two pubs in Dublin, so we always bump into each other.
I think that, like the show ‘Game of Thrones,’ our fascination with power struggles is pretty unanimous.
My life is unrecognisable compared to what it was – ‘Game of Thrones’ has opened doors that were never there before. But it can be dangerous to see it in those terms, I think. It’s best to take it as it comes and work as hard as you can, and hopefully the other things fall into place.
While most episodes have a beginning, middle, and an ending, finales on ‘Game of Thrones’ are just one ending after another after another, as each of the storylines needs to wrapped up or at least attended to in some way.
It doesn’t hurt to be in ‘Game of Thrones,’ that’s for sure, mainly because people actually see your work, and that is great.

What I’m known for – ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Star Wars’ – they film in England, but they’re American productions. Because American productions are willing to see Asian actors.
I’m a huge ‘Game of Thrones’ fan.
‘Luther’ is raw and brutal like ‘Game Of Thrones,’ but it’s coincidence. If I’m drawn to anything, it would be the writing. Choosing a project is an organic process where I’m taken in by the character and storyline, not the genre, whether fantasy or gritty and raw.
One of the most beautiful things about ‘Game of Thrones’ is it’s told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they’re doing is right. But they’re only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character’s point of view you may switch allegiances.
‘Game of Thrones’ was the first fantasy thing I’ve done, and like a lot of people who enjoy the show watching it, I didn’t expect to respond to that world, but when I started doing it, I really started to love it, started to realize that some of the things I’m naturally drawn to.
I’ve been told that no one knows what happens in the future on ‘Game of Thrones.’ To my knowledge, I’ve shot one episode. So I’m as excited as anyone else to find out what happens.

The process of going on ‘Drag Race’ is, in my opinion, more than a fiscal investment. It’s cultural. It’s the ‘Game of Thrones’ of reality TV.
