“Most people don’t know who I am in the industry. I’m far from ‘Conan’ and ‘Game of Thrones.’”

I haven’t been an actor who’s been able to pick and choose roles, and being a family man, it’s been about putting food on the table.

I saw Frank Frazetta’s art, and it seared on my memory. I love his paintings. They’re so amazing.

I was a skateboarder when I was little; I still skateboard. I teach my kids how to skate.

I do love horses, but I’d rather be on motorcycles.

Everything has technique to it. So if there’s something you wanna try out, I think it’s always good to get a trainer or listen to people who know what they’re doing.

There’s a couple of things you shouldn’t do to other humans and you shouldn’t say to other humans that Khal Drogo does.

My kids are always like, ‘Why do people always want to take pictures with you?’ and I’m like, ‘Because I’m your Dada, and you’re my daughter. That’s why.’ It’s definitely mostly because of ‘Game of Thrones.’

Train hard, train hard, train hard.

I grew up with artists.

The truth is we’re all searching. We’re all looking for guidance, for mentors, and I’m by no means someone to follow.

Anyone who spends time on the road knows there’s something special about being in the middle of Utah or Nebraska – you sit with it, and there’s a peace about it. You can go left or right, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path.

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

I love life and if there’s something that I’m playing that I love, I’ll research it.

When I went off to college in 1997, I didn’t go back and watch ‘Conan.’ I was out partying and dating women.

When you’re just an actor, you do your role, and then you’re in your trailer. It’s not as hands on as when you’re directing. You live and breathe it.

I’m a Batman fan from Day 1. My daughter’s favorite is Wonder Woman, and my son loves The Flash, Cyborg, and Superman.

And then you’ll consume them however you can. For example, I don’t really watch Showtime, but I bought ‘Homeland,’ and I’ve been watching every episode on my iPad.

I liken myself to Henry Ford and the auto industry, I give you 90 percent of what most people need.

I initially wanted to work in the music industry more on the A&R side.

I think where it’s going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like

A lot of the television industry is so cookie-cutter. In general, there are so many shows that are easy and bland to watch.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it’s fast and broad.

A smart policy should be one that tends to receive the capitals, pays the price for that capital – which is the interest – returns the capital and in the end the factories, the industries, are left to remain in the country.

No laws, however stringent, can make the idle industrious, the thriftless provident, or the drunken sober. Such reforms can only be effected by means of individual action, economy and self-denial; by better habits, rather than by greater rights.
