ALFIE ALLEN

There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life, and I hated it being imposed on me at school.

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 haven't had a lot of 'Games Of Thrones' groupies. The fans seem to be really nice. They don't seem that invasive.

Although I have fantastic connections, I didn't know as a child what feeling secure meant.

I have to work hard to be punctual, to not lose my temper, take direction and be told what to do - and most of all listen rather than talk.

Contrast of emotions is definitely something interesting that you like to do as an actor.

What I've been noticing is people coming up to me and going, 'Are you an actor?' which is cool. That's ultimately what I want.

I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.

I've always known my dad is a one-off and his own person. But I feel that underneath he has always loved me.

I'm so computer illiterate, I barely know how to send an e-mail. I mean, I have a laptop and Gmail, but I don't really look at it much.

A lot of people have the misconception that I decided to become an actor when Lily became famous and have accused me of jumping on her bandwagon. But that's completely untrue.

I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.

I like to get home, flop on the couch, and watch Sky Sports News. I'm just your average bloke.

I'm really bad at keeping secrets.

I'm really lovely and sensitive.

I was a big Damon Hill fan, and I loved Michael Schumacher.

'Game of Thrones' is my big break, so I've got to make the most of it, keep acting well.

I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a kid.

I'm pretty body-confident after losing weight for 'Thrones.'

My mum wouldn't do a film for money. She does it as a passion. That's why she's involved in things that are so brilliant. She really cares about what she does.

I do prefer playing baddies because you can push being horrible as far as you want.

I did have a problem concentrating on anything for more than 10 seconds. I was one of the first kids in the U.K. to go on Ritalin, and my mum hated it, and I hated it.

My advice to any teenager would be don't try too hard - just get on with it. That's what I did. Have fun; enjoy life.

I've got rid of the ADD, but I do find it hard to concentrate sometimes.

It's fun playing the bad guy. It comes naturally.
