- I do still sit back and wonder when I'm in LA if this is all really true or is it all kid-on. But it's great. I always bear in mind that the right place and time have a huge deal to do with it, and there are hugely talented actors who haven't had that break.
- Losing my teeth didn't impede my acting, but it was a constant worry and meant I was never completely relaxed.
- I've come off horses and fought in medieval battles using axes, hammers and swords as well as fists. Getting your teeth knocked out is an occupational hazard.
- I've spent my life doing action films and most of my own stunts, so my teeth have been knocked out along the way. It happened so frequently that I can't even remember where I lost most of them.
- Although I don't live there anymore, Scotland is a great place for the people coming over to visit and to tour around the Highlands, because it is a very magical place.
- I got a couple of front teeth knocked out during a football match when I was hit by a flying elbow.
- I think HBO seems to have an extraordinary clever knack of catching the pulse of its audience. It really, really knows its audience.
- [on Jeor Mormont] I didn't read the books when I took the part. But I'm a fanatical fly fisherman, and I go over to my great friend in Washington state in America, and we fish for steelhead out there. Now Beau, my friend, is a real redneck. He doesn't read anything and his writing is awful. Anyway, when I said I'd do this series, he bought the books. I don't know how he did it, but he sat down and he read all of them. I made time to go over and see him, and we'd be fishing away, and he'd say: 'Well, James, this has happened and that's happened and you're still alive, kid.' I'd say: 'Oh, good, good.' Then one day he said: 'James, they're drinking beer out of your skull.' So my death wasn't exactly a surprise.
