I've been on shows that went for years and years and years, and I was not ready for that again.

I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.

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

The new celebrity thing is going to take some time to get used to because I really am not used to that!

I was on Stargate: Atlantis for four years, playing a similar character called Ronon, who was an alien that didn't say much and grunted. I've been there and done that. Whether people have seen it or not, you want to stretch. And then, while I waited, I got The Red Road, and I'd never gotten anything like that.

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.
