“When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn’t believe it was happening. I had to have that role.”

I’m kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I’ll just learn it to the absolute max.

Both my parents were painters.

I’ve led a career of having to take work to see my family, over picking and choosing, instead of ‘I need food on the table and I don’t know how I’m going to pay the mortgage.’

I want it to be the greatest thing I ever do: make good humans.

I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you’ll be fine.

I don’t mind standing up for what I believe in.

My kids are my greatest piece of art.

You paint something, and it’s yours. It’s your heart up on the wall.

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.

Whenever I wake up, I’m up. I don’t lie there like an idiot. I get up, run up a hill, get some exercise, and have some time with my thoughts.

Game of Thrones’ is the greatest thing I’ve ever been a part of.

Iowa is an amazing place. But I didn’t have much race around me. I was definitely not like everyone there.

I couldn’t get a job to save my life. That’s why I wrote ‘Road to Paloma.’ That got into Sundance and got into that scene, and that’s how I got the role in ‘The Red Road.’

I’m a big wuss, and not the king in the least. My wife is.

I told my wife, ‘One woman, lots of toys!’

There aren’t, like, four Aquamans before me. I get to set the tone for it.

I should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law.

The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don’t have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

John Arne Riise was deservedly blown up for that foul

I understand that my son loves me and I love him, and everything just really got blown out of proportion, and I’m OK with that.

I’ve definitely had a few moments in my life where I’ve seen somebody and it’s blown me away at first sight

If I’m gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is “poontang”.
