- On pranking John Bradley while shooting season five of Game of Thrones: "So the story behind this one is that it was season five, when John Bradley, as Samwell Tarly, leaves the Wall and goes off to the Citadel. Me and Hannah Murray (who plays Gilly) decided to pull a prank on John, because obviously he'd be getting a new costume. So we said to the costume people, 'Can you just mock up the most ridiculous outfit you can possibly come up with that could still be feasible? Like it can't be too wild, because you won't believe it — but just about feasible.' The amount of effort and time that's gone into that, just for a joke, is brilliant. I was expecting a text saying, 'What the f*ck have they done with my costume?' And I didn't get anything, and I turned to Hannah and I was like, 'I think we've genuinely upset him.' We got a report back from the costume designer saying that he completely bought it. I was like, 'Let's see if he has to call his agents or how far this goes.' He was so silent [when] he got on set and I think they even hung it up in his trailer for his first day before they broke it to him. And then I still didn't hear from him and I thought I'd actually pissed him off. I asked him afterward, and he was like, 'I was never going to tell anybody about that.'"
