There’s a lot of ‘Game of Thrones’ stuff used in a lot of pastiches. I don’t know if I’ve seen a Lego ‘Game of Thrones’ yet, but there must be one. And there’s an animated thing that’s been going on for quite some time, and Littlefinger is a newsreader in it, and it’s great. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
In drama you can either pretend everything is OK, or you can show the world as it really is in the hope that it gets better. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
I myself started out quite young; when you’re working, professionally, even if you are in your teens, you just want to be treated the same as everybody else. You just want people to see you as an actor and not as a kid. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
I hope it’s not all I’ll ever do, but I know I’ve played enigmatic characters. For me, the good characters are people who get places, are devious, are cunning and tricky and hard to pin down. Obviously, if you play one and you do an okay job of it, that’ll be on people’s minds. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
I really like coming-of-age dramas. It’s probably the most intense period in anyone’s life, those years before you become an adult. Dramatically, there’s so much to explore there. And it’s nice to be around young talent coming through. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
There’s no way the writing staff of ‘Game of Thrones’ haven’t read ‘The Art of War.’ There’s definitely an influence on ‘Game of Thrones’ from this book in both a general way and on the character of Lord Baelish and his strategies. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
I’ve probably had my best time acting – or not acting, or trying to not act – on things like ‘The Low Down’ or ‘Treacle Jr.’ I’m happiest doing things like that. Not just because they’re lead roles, but because there’s more freedom in them. Aidan Gillen Read Quote
