“I’m a strong alpha male but sensitive.”

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.

I would love to do comedy.

I’m not really tough.

My mum raised me on ‘On the Waterfront,’ ‘Gone with the Wind’ and ‘Rear Window.’

Touch is the alpha and omega of affection.

There are the alpha waves in the brain; another clock is the heart. And all the while tick the mysterious, ruthless clocks that regulate aging.
