“For years, I was just Joe Bloggs. There was no excitement until 'Game of Thrones,' and then people started recognizing me.”

“'Derry Girls' just has a sense of knowing exactly who these people are and also a fun memory of how things were, even in spite of all the chaos around them. It's very entertaining and it stays wonderfully buoyant because it focuses on the kids and the families.”

“The Sons of the Harpy are basically the people who represent the old regime. They don't want Daenerys in there governing them. Daenerys has this attitude about the fighting pits being reopened, which is part of their tradition. There's quite a considerable resentment to the fact that she doesn't want this to happen.”

“Tennis does need variety, excitement, and personality.”

“At the moment when I come on stage and I hear the excitement, I can feel the excitement of the crowd. That's the most important thing to me.”

“With a live audience, if you sing with the right feeling, the response you get is a high, an excitement. There's nothing in the studio that can give you anything quite like that.”
