“I grew up with a single mother, and I wasn’t out shooting too many guns.”

There’s nothing I’ve ever worked on that beat ‘Game of Thrones’ – that’s a 10-hour movie; they put a lot of money in it.

Emilia Clarke is someone I’m very close to, like a sister, and I love her very much.

Being raised in Iowa, I know what a cornfield does for me, and I wanted to have that same kind of feeling for the Ramapo Mountains.

I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.

My children aren’t normally allowed to watch a lot of things that I’m in.

I’m just gonna make art myself. I have a lot of ideas of things I wanna do and really talented people and friends I’m around, so we decided to make our own thing and set out to do it.

I go train, and like with Conan, I’m in leather, and with Drogo, I’m in leather or armor or something else. I’m not in my adidas sweat suit or my matching tracksuit pants to go work out. I got too busy of a day. I’ve got my boots.

I’m raised to actually think, to use my brain.

In my man cave, I have tomahawks, throwing knives, and old black-bear furs. There’s skulls, weapons everywhere.

Me and my son got pictures on the Batmobile. I’m a big kid.

I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.

Zack Snyder is a huge fan of ‘Game of Thrones,’ and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.

I love working with Oscar winners.

I don’t want to be like Spider-man or Batman, the do-gooder kind of thing.

I’m a big kid, you know?

I’m one of those freaky people that actually reads books.

I grew up with the mindset that when you get home from work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don’t want to be going to a club and taking off my panties.

I grew up in that age, and it was memorable. But I’m down with all of it. Chuck D or Danny Brown? I feel comfortable with all of them. Word up, kid! Word up, man!

I try to use my experience and the fact that I grew up in the ghetto – I tell people you don’t have to rob or steal to get out of the ghetto.

I grew up being into sports and I wasn’t trained to move my body in the right way for dancing.

Every kid has a bug period… I never grew out of mine.

Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.

I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with them and I love working with them. They’re really fun.

We grew up in the Rose Park section of Salt Lake City. It’s a good neighborhood but a tough one, on the poor side but proud.
