The Game Of Thrones star told the magazine she avoids reading things about herself: 'If you come out of the doctor’s and they tell you that you have an ailment, never Google it. I believe searching yourself comes under the same bracket. It will only end in tears.'
While the star plays someone who is tough enough to deal with dragons, the British star says she is not beyond have a cry at harsh criticism.
'Playing feisty hard-hitting women gives me a chance to be everything I’m not. No, I’m not fishing for compliments.'

Emilia said: 'I have an older brother. I definitely watched it as I was growing up. The first time I was way too young, maybe eight or nine.
'But then when I watched it again, I remember being engrossed in her story and thinking it’s very much about the girl.'
A chance to to be an action star has also got the British beauty excited.
'I love playing a character that has a skill set that I don’t have, so I have to learn.
'I think this is one of the best things about being an actress - to come away with so much more knowledge of various aspects of different careers.

While many fear that Terminator has lost its way since the departure of popular director James Cameron, Emilia is more that confident Terminator: Genesis will be great.

'I’m not worried because Megan and David Ellison, who have bought the rights, are geniuses. Alan Taylor is directing Terminator: Genesis and he’s my man. He was with me throughout Game of Thrones series 1 and 2 and so the rapport is already there.
