“When I got ‘Stargate: Atlantis,’ I said, ‘Man, I’d love to be on HBO.’”

I was a snowboard bum and a climbing bum.

I was raised by a strong single mother.

That’s one of the great things about being an actor. You get to learn all these things normal people don’t get to learn.

I always loved samurai movies, and I wanted to incorporate that whole level of elegance and just the code of the samurai to ‘Conan.’

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.

If you cross the Atlantic with an American lady you invariably fall in love with her before the journey is over.

Everybody at Atlantic knew that we had a winner in this young lady, and she came through with great hits that will be remembered for many years to come.
