Actress Sophie Turner says fame has forced her to "grow up faster".

The 20-year-old "Game of Thrones" star said she is trying hard to stick to her childhood, reported Femalefirst.

"I definitely felt I had to grow up faster than I would have done. I'm very driven in terms of work, but I'm almost more playful and silly than my friends. I cling onto childhood.

"Having a cynical perspective is best; in this industry, there's just a lot of rejection. We all have that mentality, where we know we're expendable. We all just thought, this is a job. Try not to get fired," Turner said.
 

The actress feels embarrassed about being famous.

"I feel almost embarrassed by being in the public eye sometimes. I almost get the feeling that people look down on me because of it. If you're on a night out, they will definitely tease you for it," she said.
