I can't say I'm having trouble with my husband or that I have a stubborn child.

There doesn't seem to be a religion in 'Game of Thrones' that's totally peaceful... we haven't seen any Buddhists.

I've never really considered packing my suitcase and heading to Hollywood.
Carice van Houten -
Most directors that I've worked with - I've worked with before, especially in Holland - and they know that I'm somebody who talks and asks, and talks, and talks, and talks and questions and turns things around. I'm like a little cat, walking around my little nest until I find my place.
Carice van Houten -
In the streets, they're very nice. On Twitter, there are people who love to hate me. Sometimes people get mean. I tend to answer like, 'Careful now, know who you're dealing with...' They're like, 'I'm sorry! Don't send the Lord of Light after me!' It's fun to play with that.
Carice van Houten -
I don't do method acting. If I play a farmer, I'm not gonna spend 3 weeks on a chicken farm. That's a bit too much for me.
Carice van Houten -
I do this acting thing mostly for myself. I like to make a connection and communicate with the audience to make myself feel less lonely. I also do it to develop my own character, so sometimes I do it to just be away in a certain area that I've never been to. But mostly, the story has to do something for me.
Carice van Houten -
I personally don't like to rehearse so much. I really sort of trust my instinct.

Playing evil is just not interesting. I don't think anyone who does evil stuff thinks they're doing evil stuff. That's the scary part.
Carice van Houten -
It's quite absurd to act against a smoke creature that is not there.
Carice van Houten -
My grandparents met each other in amateur theatre. My uncle is an actor.
Carice van Houten -
I like to play a strong woman, but a strong woman can also be very fragile and vulnerable at the same time.
Carice van Houten -
The khaleesi seems the most fair.
Carice van Houten -
I come from Holland, and there's a lot of nudity in film there.

I'm cold in summer. I'm the coldest person ever! It's very ironic I'm never cold in the scripts. Every time I'm shooting, if you don't see a part of me, there are hot water bottles there.
Carice van Houten -
I pick up on other people's discomfort.
Carice van Houten -
I have a very musical family from my Scottish roots.
Carice van Houten -
I think it's cool people love to hate me.
Carice van Houten -
I don't believe you can get into somebody's character but more that somebody comes in you. You just use yourself. In everything I play, I feel like it is me. I just say different things on different times and look different.
Carice van Houten -
I tend to really duck down and make myself smaller than I already am.

Whenever you have to do a photo shoot with a woman, there is this weird competition. They need to prove something. They need to play games - maybe unconsciously - but women are so sensitive, and people call me more masculine sometimes.
Carice van Houten -
On my own, I have very bad posture; I'm clunky.
Carice van Houten -
It's great to play somebody's wife, but not all the time. There's so many other stories to tell.
Carice van Houten -
I think I'm a very intuitive actress.
