“There’s a lot of things I would definitely go to bat for in Hawaii. I’ve been all over that stuff. If someone told me to be quiet about that because of my profession, no. That’s my people.”

I’ve done a lot of dumb things in my life.

My mom’s an artist in every way. She’s a painter, a photographer. She’s a wanderer – always searching, always seeing. I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes.

I want to be remembered as, I hope, an amazing husband and a great father.

I actually went to study with the Ramapoughs in New York. I wanted to be able to see the mountains and the forest, be around the people.

I grew up being an artist, but also rock-climbing and traveling the world and teaching my kids.

I’m not going to normally get hired to play those emotional things, and I’m capable of it. I was raised by a single mother in Iowa – I’m just trapped in a big, dumb body.

I can’t wait until I get to play the fat guy in the office.

My wife’s Lisa Bonet. I’m a very lucky man.

There’s a bunch of stuff I want to learn. Instead of waiting around on set all day, I’d rather be learning something cool.

I don’t think a lot of people are calling me to play doctors and lawyers, which is fine with me. I can put a suit on, but I don’t really like to.

If you’re in a small town somewhere and you can go and visit Paris, you can go to the top of Everest, that’s just cool. It’s worth it because you become more educated in something.

You get a lot of respect for ‘Game of Thrones,’ and it was a lot of fun to play, but it didn’t help my career a lot because Khal Drago doesn’t even speak English.

I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I’ve got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.

I grew up rock climbing.

I’ve been fascinated with Maori culture since I was a kid.

I would love to do comedy.

A lifetime contract for a coach means if you’re ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can’t fire you.

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me.

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

He’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face.

And I can say that I’ll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat.

The best compliment for me is when someone says they’ll pay to watch me play, And I can say that I’ll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat. MS is not the next Gilchrist. He’s the first MS Dhoni

I would be comfortable to bat anywhere.

I now know what Sachin Tendulkar feels every time he bats in India.
