"If you go online you can definitely read every plot point that's going to happen," he told The Observer. "You can find the ending of Game of Thrones on the internet. It's there. But you wouldn't know. Of course, nobody really wants to know."
"For years there was the whole thing with 'book readers' who knew what was going to happen," he said. "But it is more intense now, because nobody knows. There has been a couple times where I've actually, by accident, said something I shouldn't have. But because nobody knows, they don't necessarily pick up on it."
