“I’m not the king in my own house. I have to wash the dishes and take out the trash and say, ‘Yes, baby.’ I’m 6-foot-5, but I kind of walk around hunched over.”

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.’

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.

One day that same year, I told my dad that someday, I would sail around the world alone.

Our response has been, “Well, let’s then make an effort to get the Israelis and the Palestinians to sit around the table.” That hasn’t happened. So we only have ourselves to blame for this crisis.

If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work — because if they don’t, they won’t be around the next time the ballot box is open.

I dunno, around 11th grade, 12th grade I was just like “yeah. This is something I want to do”. I was always known; I was always the rapper.

As the music played over the speakers and the waterfall in the pool filled the silence around us, I knew that without a doubt I had just been ruined.

The work that the kids saw around them was so odious, so boring, so worthless that they came to regard WORK as the only dirty four-letter word in the English language.

We don’t look at each other [in the car], but instead do so only when we want to. We’re allowed to look around without appearing rude. We have a big screen in front of us and side views.

The older I get, the more I realize that you don’t have to be around people you don’t want to be around, and you don’t have to be in a situation you don’t want to be in. You have the power to rise up and leave.
