Zitat des Tages von Kit Harington:
My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up. We were comfortable, but I didn't go to Oxbridge, and yet every American interviewer I get says to me, 'You're related to Charles II! Your grandfather was a baronet!' And it's infuriating, because that is a part of my history, but you're trying to turn me into a posh boy, and I'm not.
I have a wild streak, but I like to keep that very much for my friends.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.
There's a huge difference between stage fighting and real sword fighting.
There's an unhealthy obsession in America with royalty and the class system.
I trained in theater. And I started in theater with my first two jobs doing stage plays.
I didn't get into this for fame, I genuinely didn't. I love acting, and I know that's a cliche, but I didn't, really, I was very naive when it came to the whole being recognized thing.
When I'm applying for a new passport or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
We are fascinated with our own history, and we are fascinated with the Romans because they were millennia ago, and yet they still capture our imagination because they were actually so similar to us. They were very civilized. They had a very similar political system.
I was called Kit from day one; really, I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11.
I'm a terrible packer. I don't pack lots and lots because I think I'll wear everything, I pack a lot because I never know what I'm going to need. I always go over the weight limit.
You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
I try not to read the social networks too much. I find that way madness lies.
I wear quite fitted clothing. I don't like wearing baggy stuff.
'How to Train Your Dragon,' the first one, was a film I'd seen prior to being approached for the sequel. I don't often watch family animated movies, but it's one that I loved and thought was really well done: beautifully crafted storytelling.
As an actor, you don't have much choice about your appearance. It's a good excuse for looking ridiculous.
Jeff Bridges is one of those icons that I put on a very high pedestal, so just to get to chill with him off-camera on cold, rainy days was surreal.
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 do want to have children, but my parents had me when they were in their forties. I'd like to copy that.
I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.
I love action. I love doing fight scenes; I always have. I love it.
