KIT HARINGTON

Jeff Bridges is one of those icons that I put on a very high pedestal, so just to get to chill with him off-camera on cold, rainy days was surreal.

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

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.

I just don't know anything about fashion.

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

When I'm applying for a new passport or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.

I was called Kit from day one; really, I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11.

I don't want people thinking they know me instead of the character. Steve McQueen has loads of stories about him - who knows what's true? But it's great for people to fictionalize rather than know the truth.

I'm kind of a horse whisperer; I don't know what it is. I'm not great on a horse. I'm getting better, but I'm not brilliant. So yeah, I've spent a lot of time with horses. They're great creatures; I love them. I do love riding them when I get the chance to.

I've always been a bit of a self-doubter. I think a lot of actors are.

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

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.

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

I love action. I love doing fight scenes; I always have. I love it.

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

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.

The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.

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

'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.

The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.

Any kind of horror video game where I'm the first-person player and I'm... I suddenly stop caring about the video game dude, and I'm like, I really don't want him to die,' and then the minute he dies, it upsets me. I can't play those games.

I don't do Twitter because I don't want to talk about myself more than I already have to.

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.

I don't go to work thinking, 'Right, I'm going to be more heart-throbby today.'

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