“When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn’t believe it was happening. I had to have that role.”

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.

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.

I should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law.

The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don’t have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

John Arne Riise was deservedly blown up for that foul

I understand that my son loves me and I love him, and everything just really got blown out of proportion, and I’m OK with that.

I’ve definitely had a few moments in my life where I’ve seen somebody and it’s blown me away at first sight

If I’m gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is “poontang”.
