“I’ve done a lot of dumb things in my life.”

I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.

My children aren’t normally allowed to watch a lot of things that I’m in.

I’m just gonna make art myself. I have a lot of ideas of things I wanna do and really talented people and friends I’m around, so we decided to make our own thing and set out to do it.

I go train, and like with Conan, I’m in leather, and with Drogo, I’m in leather or armor or something else. I’m not in my adidas sweat suit or my matching tracksuit pants to go work out. I got too busy of a day. I’ve got my boots.

I’m raised to actually think, to use my brain.

In my man cave, I have tomahawks, throwing knives, and old black-bear furs. There’s skulls, weapons everywhere.

Me and my son got pictures on the Batmobile. I’m a big kid.

I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.

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.

I love working with Oscar winners.

I don’t want to be like Spider-man or Batman, the do-gooder kind of thing.

I’m a big kid, you know?

I’m one of those freaky people that actually reads books.

After ‘Game of Thrones,’ having a character like that, that’s like the pinnacle of your career.

I grew up with a single mother, and I wasn’t out shooting too many guns.

As far as getting work, no one thought I spoke English. It was absolutely ridiculous. I’d show up at a meeting and they’d be like, ‘Oh my God, you speak English! That’s so cool.’ They didn’t really know what to do with me.

No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.

Articulate words are a harsh clamor and dissonance. When man arrives at his highest perfection, he will again be dumb.

I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference God has given me this new chance.

Dumb people spend time to save money. Smart people spend money to save time.

I’m a meathead. I can’t help it, man. You’ve got smart people and you’ve got dumb people.

If you’re deaf, dumb, and blind to what’s happening in the world, you’re under no obligation to do anything. But if you know what’s happening and you don’t do anything but sit on your ass, then you’re nothing but a punk.

Keep telling me I can’t and I’ll keep showing you’re dumb.

The saddest thing a girl can do is dumb herself down for a guy.
