My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

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

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.

When I'm acting, I wish I was out there, being a part of it and making it. It's all on your name to do that. It's your vision. You're going to get slandered for your work, and I like that. As an actor, it's so hard. I'd rather direct than act.

You know what's it's changed is my appreciate for the art form of making cinema. I don't want to act as much as I want to tell stories. I want to be a part of the whole collective and pull all of the pieces together. That's what I love about directing.

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

Some people we know in our lives come up to a crossroads, and they could go left or right, and then end up in a totally different place.
