“I grew up rock climbing.”

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 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.

So I grew up having a certain relationship to work. It was something that I always wanted.

I know more polkas than Frankie Yankovic. I grew up next door to the Polka Tavern in Milwaukee.

I grew up in Minnesota, where we treasure our tradition of civic engagement – and our record of having the nation’s highest voter participation.

I’m an animal thug, I grew up eatin’ animal cookies

I grew up in a very suburban neighborhood, so I was used to everything being safe and lovely.

I grew up in a desert, which has no kind of imagination.

When I grew up in the ’70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn’t think you had a choice.

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.’
