Like every actor, you get notorious for maybe one role and then get offered a lot of similar roles.
I like a good cry every now and then. It releases something. There are times in my life when I'm meant to cry, but I don't actually cry. But then I can be walking down the street and it's been a few months, and things get on top of me - that's when I find myself crying.
Attention gets you the opposite sex sometimes.
I've inherited the bad poetry genes, but not the inventor genes.
I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.
It's very difficult to say anything in Icelandic. I can say "takk," which means "thank you." That's about all I learned.
Iceland, I'm in love with that country, the people are incredible.
I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you're in - how clever you are. I put down "Kit Harington," and they looked at me like I was completely stupid, and they said, "No, you're Christopher Harington, I'm afraid." It was only then I learnt my actual name. That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that's who I was. I'm not really a "Chris."
When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
I like playing dark, broody types.
I've always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.

Each project changes you a bit.
I've got like a weird bond with horses. I'm kind of a horse whisperer, I don't know what it is. I'm not great on a horse. I'm getting better, but I'm not brilliant. So yeah, I've spent a lot of time with horses. They're great creatures, I love them. I do love riding them when I get the chance to.
I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.
At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.
I always love costume, and I'm always heavily involved in how things should look. Or how they should feel really, because that's part of the way I suppose I get into character in some ways. It's a lot about costume.
It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.
I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.
