- On meeting Emilia Clarke for the first time: "I remember the first time I ever saw her. She came into the Fitzwilliam bar. I had been talking to Richard Madden at the bar and he went, 'I've just met the new Daenerys. She's gorgeous.' And I was like, 'Really? I haven't met her yet.' And then she came in and I saw her and was like, 'Wow.' She takes your breath away when she walks into a room, Emilia. I think we're good mates because we, maybe more than anyone else, know what the other one's going through a bit. I don't mean to sound like we're going through the worst thing in the world, but I think no one else other than Emilia will know exactly what being on Thrones is like, the way we're on Thrones. That's really how we kind of bonded."
