“I grew up with artists.”

I’m a father, a son, and a grandson, and if anyone messed with my wife, mom, or grandmother, and if the law didn’t care about it, what would I do? Would I be defined by that action?

I’m not a barbarian.

I’m sure all actors have trouble. The guy who always plays the funny guy, he wants to be taken seriously. And there’s the action guy who wants to do serious stuff. Everyone’s grass is greener.

I did ‘Batman v Superman’ for one or two days.

To play Khal Drogo was phenomenal, and I wished there was more stuff he could have done. I’m going to miss that character.

If you’re too disciplined, it can mess up your mind. You need to have that treat for yourself.

My favorite movie is ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.’

We don’t own a TV. My kids are always outdoors.

I was an outcast. I was from a town of wrestlers and football players.

My wife says to do the dishes, and I’m like, ‘Yes, baby. I can clean up.’

My wife’s trying to get me into yoga, and it’s gonna take me a while, but eventually I’m gonna have to.

I have my ups and my downs like anyone. All I can do is be me.

There’s nothing I’ve ever worked on that beat ‘Game of Thrones’ – that’s a 10-hour movie; they put a lot of money in it.

Emilia Clarke is someone I’m very close to, like a sister, and I love her very much.

Being raised in Iowa, I know what a cornfield does for me, and I wanted to have that same kind of feeling for the Ramapo Mountains.

I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.

Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I’ve gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, ‘Why not? Now’s the time.’

We grew up in a very material-lacking socialist society, but today China is a capitalist society. It’s very materialistic. It’s full of desire and luxury goods.

Public art existed all along, but ecological art just naturally grew out of my thinking and writings in that area for years.

I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that’s kept me in line. Really in line.

White hate crimes, white hate speech. I still try to claim I wasn’t brought up to hate. But hate isn’t the half of it. I grew up in the vast encircling presumption of whiteness.

Basically, as a kid I grew up to a lot of good music, and part of my appreciation for music, from being a small child, was appreciating Jamaican music.

I’m one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there’s no escaping it.

I’ve never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.
