I took no money to make art, but my woman backed me up on it and I want my children to see their father happy.

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

To do six to 10 episodes of high-quality writing, and then be able to go direct my own things, and do a movie, if it comes along, sure. I just want to act and do good work.

I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.

I don't want to play a superhero. Drogo may not be Superman, but it is a phenomenal role. I didn't want to get typecast. Drogo is an exceptional character. Conan is iconic. Whether it does good or not, you just try to elevate it to the next level.

You cannot embrace the action or play the role correctly if you're having someone else do the movements for you. I want to be doing it myself, unless it's going to be a train wreck.

Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman buddy.
