On what Daenerys legitimizing Gendry will mean in the end: "I don't think necessarily that all the trimmings that come with Lords of Storm's End are really the kinds of things that he was after. Power and the land and the wealth that you would imagine Gendry would acquire now, that's all kind of superfluous to him. I think the main thing that he would take from it is the legitimacy and that he's no longer a bastard. The fact that he's been recognised as a legitimate son of somebody — it can be as simple as that. You can imagine he's not a particular fan of hierarchy but he can place himself somewhere within it now."
