"I've been spending all day, every day in weapons training. I've been shooting guns, weightlifting, kickboxing and generally kicking a lot of ass. On top of that, I have not been allowed to eat anything that might taste good at all," she confessed.

The 26-year-old actress likewise practices self-control when it comes to things that she eat especially when she's prepping for a big role: "Everything on these plates looks amazing but, heartbreakingly I'm not allowed to eat any of it.

When she's not filming Daenerys Targaryen's hot scenes in 'Game of Thrones', she prefers to stay at home catching up on her favorite books: "When I'm not on set, I'm reading. My father always said, 'Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf,' so I make sure I read."

While Emilia Clarke is currently being linked to Cory Michael Smith, she says that nothing's wrong with being single: "And that's OK. I'm figuring out a lot of stuff right now. I think as a woman it's in our nature to nurture someone else. Sometimes at the expense of ourselves."
