One of the most beautiful things about ‘Game of Thrones’ is it’s told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they’re doing is right.

I think often I learn the most from other people’s mistakes. If I’m in the audience watching an actor and thinking, ‘I don’t believe you,’ I spend the rest of the play working out why I don’t believe them. – Richard Madden
