“Iowa is an amazing place. But I didn’t have much race around me. I was definitely not like everyone there.”

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.

To play Khal Drogo was phenomenal, and I wished there was more stuff he could have done. I’m going to miss that character.

If you’re too disciplined, it can mess up your mind. You need to have that treat for yourself.

My favorite movie is ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.’

We don’t own a TV. My kids are always outdoors.

I was an outcast. I was from a town of wrestlers and football players.

My wife says to do the dishes, and I’m like, ‘Yes, baby. I can clean up.’

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.

Criminals are never very amusing. It’s because they’re failures. Those who make real money aren’t counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.

People want to be amused, not preached at, you know. Morals don’t sell nowadays.

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.

Chance The Rapper is just unreal: he’s changing rap and really creating this whole amazing new style.

I loved Nashville. I was amazed by the whole place.

Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one’s luck.

Isn’t it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you deserve the wrong ones? It’s highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight.

A Man who is Shy and Modest, is An Amazing Character, but a Women who is Shy and Modest is Beyond Amazing.
