“It's a writeR or director's role to be cerebral, whereas for an actor it should be a visceral, gut thing. When the action starts, it's best to turn the brain off and let it become an instinctual thing. I think the beauty of the writing in thrones is not that the characters are fearless; it's how they overcome their fear.”
