“If I had a horse of my own that I loved and fed and knew me, it would be amazing.”

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.

We have such an amazing future ahead of us.

Before ‘Twilight,’ occasionally I would get the ‘Hey are you that girl from that movie?’ but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing, and it’s very flattering.

You know what it would just be amazing to be remembered, you know like a mum telling a daughter ‘the boyband of my time, One Direction, they just had fun and they’re just normal guys but terrible, terrible dancers.’

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it’s amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

This is an amazing thought: a God who is indescribable.

It’s amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

It’s amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.

It’s so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It’s the best feeling.
