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

Train hard, train hard, train hard.

I grew up with artists.

The truth is we’re all searching. We’re all looking for guidance, for mentors, and I’m by no means someone to follow.

Most people don’t know who I am in the industry. I’m far from ‘Conan’ and ‘Game of Thrones.’

Anyone who spends time on the road knows there’s something special about being in the middle of Utah or Nebraska – you sit with it, and there’s a peace about it. You can go left or right, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path.

If I had a horse of my own that I loved and fed and knew me, it would be amazing.

I love life and if there’s something that I’m playing that I love, I’ll research it.

When I went off to college in 1997, I didn’t go back and watch ‘Conan.’ I was out partying and dating women.

When you’re just an actor, you do your role, and then you’re in your trailer. It’s not as hands on as when you’re directing. You live and breathe it.

I’m a Batman fan from Day 1. My daughter’s favorite is Wonder Woman, and my son loves The Flash, Cyborg, and Superman.

I’m a big softie.

I just love stories, and I love movies, learning and seeing the world. Growing up in Iowa, it was like, you wanna see the world? Movies can help you do that.

I’m a father, a son, and a grandson, and if anyone messed with my wife, mom, or grandmother, and if the law didn’t care about it, what would I do? Would I be defined by that action?

I’m not a barbarian.

I’m sure all actors have trouble. The guy who always plays the funny guy, he wants to be taken seriously. And there’s the action guy who wants to do serious stuff. Everyone’s grass is greener.

I did ‘Batman v Superman’ for one or two days.

You also have to research your competition.

We are also a company that understands community.

My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.

The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.

It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising.

The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!

For where there is love of man, there is also love of the art.

The 31th of May, I perceived in the same water more of those Animals, as also some that were somewhat bigger.
