Personal Quotes
[on performing in 'Game of Thrones'] I think it's pretty much
every teenager's dream to be able to step into a world of swords and
beheaded heads and, like, skulls everywhere. I think it's really cool,
walking around on set and there's a line of dead bodies beside you,
which you can go and take pictures of. I find it great fun.
'Joffrey' is this completely insane young kid who's been given
this absolute power over people's lives, and he's been corrupted
absolutely. It's a study of the social consequences of war that, sadly,
isn't too far from a lot of the actual state of the world.
