“My kids are always like, 'Why do people always want to take pictures with you?' and I'm like, 'Because I'm your Dada, and you're my daughter. That's why.' It's definitely mostly because of 'Game of Thrones.'”
“I'm a big wuss, and not the king in the least. My wife is.”
“Most people don't know who I am in the industry. I'm far from 'Conan' and 'Game of Thrones.'”
“I'm not going to normally get hired to play those emotional things, and I'm capable of it. I was raised by a single mother in Iowa - I'm just trapped in a big, dumb body.”
“I was an outcast. I was from a town of wrestlers and football players.”
“I always loved samurai movies, and I wanted to incorporate that whole level of elegance and just the code of the samurai to 'Conan.'”
“My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'”
“I've done a lot of dumb things in my life.”
“When I found out more about the Maori culture, I fell in love with it, and with the people, too.”
“Zack Snyder is a huge fan of 'Game of Thrones,' and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.”
“If you're in a small town somewhere and you can go and visit Paris, you can go to the top of Everest, that's just cool. It's worth it because you become more educated in something.”
“You paint something, and it's yours. It's your heart up on the wall.”
“I've led a career of having to take work to see my family, over picking and choosing, instead of 'I need food on the table and I don't know how I'm going to pay the mortgage.'”
“My children aren't normally allowed to watch a lot of things that I'm in.”
“I grew up rock climbing.”
“For 'Conan,' I had to eat boiled chicken breast and work out all the time and basically eat like a bird every two hours and stay ripped.”
“When you're just an actor, you do your role, and then you're in your trailer. It's not as hands on as when you're directing. You live and breathe it.”
“I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.”
“I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.”
“When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn't believe it was happening. I had to have that role.”
