“For ‘Conan,’ I had to eat boiled chicken breast and work out all the time and basically eat like a bird every two hours and stay ripped.”

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.

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.
