“I’m not really tough.”

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 got called ‘pretty boy’ my whole life.

When I’m by myself, I’m really cool and nice to everyone, but then the whole paparazzi thing? If you see me with my kids, I change.

I watch action movies, and you don’t remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It’s character trait stuff you remember.

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.’

Guessing isn’t knowing.

I am not a myth.

The past is never dead, it is not even past.

If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool.

Don’t do what you can do – try what you can’t do.

An original idea. That can’t be too hard. The library must be full of them.

I’m not an innovator.

Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.
