[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. Show less «

[on performing in movies] It wasn't like I ever said, 'I want to be an actor'. I was in the right place at the right time. I went to a local drama group because I found football on the weekends too cold - which is highly ironic because I've had some of the coldest experiences of my life filming 'Game of Thrones'. So I went to this group, enjoyed the drama games and the make-belief stuff, but I wasn't really a hard-core thespian. Then there was open casting and it so happened I got the role [Eggs]. It was the coolest: three weeks Northern Ireland, playing on this medieval adventure playground, getting thrown out of windows. Picking up beheaded heads. It was the coolest. Show less «
