The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning a sitting on the throne at noon a pageant in the evening.

It's not like I'm this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.

I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having.

I think 'Game of Thrones' was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.

'Game of Thrones' is an amazing show and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne He travels the fastest who travels alone.

Before the throne of the Almighty man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
