“I was raised by a strong single mother.”

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

My mom’s an artist in every way. She’s a painter, a photographer. She’s a wanderer – always searching, always seeing. I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes.

I want to be remembered as, I hope, an amazing husband and a great father.

I actually went to study with the Ramapoughs in New York. I wanted to be able to see the mountains and the forest, be around the people.

I grew up being an artist, but also rock-climbing and traveling the world and teaching my kids.

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 can’t wait until I get to play the fat guy in the office.

My wife’s Lisa Bonet. I’m a very lucky man.

There’s a bunch of stuff I want to learn. Instead of waiting around on set all day, I’d rather be learning something cool.

I don’t think a lot of people are calling me to play doctors and lawyers, which is fine with me. I can put a suit on, but I don’t really like to.

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 get a lot of respect for ‘Game of Thrones,’ and it was a lot of fun to play, but it didn’t help my career a lot because Khal Drago doesn’t even speak English.

I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I’ve got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.

There’s a lot of things I would definitely go to bat for in Hawaii. I’ve been all over that stuff. If someone told me to be quiet about that because of my profession, no. That’s my people.

I grew up rock climbing.

I’ve been fascinated with Maori culture since I was a kid.

Raise your vibrations to be your highest self to raise human consciousness.

Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.

Man’s inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.

The American people need a raise, and they need it now.

I was raised with a huge Armenian influence, always hearing stories of Armenia, celebrating Armenian holidays.

I wish to raise a Black man who will recognize that the legitimate objects of his hostility are not women, but the particulars of a structure that programs him to fear and despise women as well as his own Black self.

Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you; they were born for a different time.

God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.
