- Despite playing the monstrous Joffrey on Game of Thrones (2011), all of his co-stars have described him as one of the nicest and friendliest actors they have ever worked with.
- He based his performance as Joffrey in Game Of Thrones (2011- ) on Joaquin Phoenix's performance in Gladiator (2000).
- Doesn't like to swear and usually avoids it in rehearsal and does it in the take.
- Has said he doesn't plan to continue acting after finishing Game of Thrones (2011).
- Gleeson is the founder and artistic director of Collapsing Horse Theatre Company, which is based in Dublin.
- I'm happy to sacrifice a big pay cheque for my happiness, if that's not too corny a thing to say. It's probably more naive than mature to say that, maybe, but that's how I feel.
- I think audiences will always like bad guys who kill for no apparent reason. We just like to hate them.
- Both villains and heroes need to have a steadfast belief in themselves.
- I'd like to be an academic, a philosophy lecturer if possible. I'd do a Masters in Ancient Hebrew maybe, and a Ph.D. hopefully, if I get in.
- I'll miss playing a fun character [in Game of Thrones (2011)], but nothing compares to everyone here. I'll miss them a lot.
