I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.

I'm on 'Game Of Thrones,' and every time we have someone new coming on our show, we welcome them with open arms and get revitalised by this new presence. Then we kill them off very quickly.

I never was a big comic book fan. Obviously I'd heard them growing up from my friends who did read them, but I never was a big comic book reader.

I'm a private person in many ways.

People have the strangest ideas about dwarves.
