“I would love to do comedy.”

I don’t mind standing up for what I believe in.

My kids are my greatest piece of art.

You paint something, and it’s yours. It’s your heart up on the wall.

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.

Whenever I wake up, I’m up. I don’t lie there like an idiot. I get up, run up a hill, get some exercise, and have some time with my thoughts.

Game of Thrones’ is the greatest thing I’ve ever been a part of.

Iowa is an amazing place. But I didn’t have much race around me. I was definitely not like everyone there.

I couldn’t get a job to save my life. That’s why I wrote ‘Road to Paloma.’ That got into Sundance and got into that scene, and that’s how I got the role in ‘The Red Road.’

I’m a big wuss, and not the king in the least. My wife is.

I told my wife, ‘One woman, lots of toys!’

There aren’t, like, four Aquamans before me. I get to set the tone for it.

I got called ‘pretty boy’ my whole life.

When I’m by myself, I’m really cool and nice to everyone, but then the whole paparazzi thing? If you see me with my kids, I change.

I watch action movies, and you don’t remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It’s character trait stuff you remember.

I haven’t been an actor who’s been able to pick and choose roles, and being a family man, it’s been about putting food on the table.

I saw Frank Frazetta’s art, and it seared on my memory. I love his paintings. They’re so amazing.

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

People should think things out fresh and not just accept conventional terms and the conventional way of doing things.

Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern.

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery.

When we want to have our own style of living, it is nobody’s business but ours. What we do in private is our private business.

Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.

Courage! Do not fall back; in a little the place will be yours.

I’m a mama’s boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother.
