“I grew up with artists.”

My wife’s trying to get me into yoga, and it’s gonna take me a while, but eventually I’m gonna have to.

I have my ups and my downs like anyone. All I can do is be me.

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.

The Brooklyn Bridge and I grew up together.

I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.

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.
