I got called 'pretty boy' my whole life.
I'm a big wuss, and not the king in the least. My wife is.
I always loved samurai movies, and I wanted to incorporate that whole level of elegance and just the code of the samurai to 'Conan.'
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.
My wife says to do the dishes, and I'm like, 'Yes, baby. I can clean up.'
I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.
When I found out more about the Maori culture, I fell in love with it, and with the people, too.
If I had a horse of my own that I loved and fed and knew me, it would be amazing.
Both my parents were painters.
There's a couple of things you shouldn't do to other humans and you shouldn't say to other humans that Khal Drogo does.
I go train, and like with Conan, I'm in leather, and with Drogo, I'm in leather or armor or something else. I'm not in my adidas sweat suit or my matching tracksuit pants to go work out. I got too busy of a day. I've got my boots.
Emilia Clarke is someone I'm very close to, like a sister, and I love her very much.
I'm just gonna make art myself. I have a lot of ideas of things I wanna do and really talented people and friends I'm around, so we decided to make our own thing and set out to do it.
There's a bunch of stuff I want to learn. Instead of waiting around on set all day, I'd rather be learning something cool.
There's a lot of things I would definitely go to bat for in Hawaii. I've been all over that stuff. If someone told me to be quiet about that because of my profession, no. That's my people.
I grew up with artists.
I'm raised to actually think, to use my brain.
As far as getting work, no one thought I spoke English. It was absolutely ridiculous. I'd show up at a meeting and they'd be like, 'Oh my God, you speak English! That's so cool.' They didn't really know what to do with me.
I don't think a lot of people are calling me to play doctors and lawyers, which is fine with me. I can put a suit on, but I don't really like to.
I'm not going to normally get hired to play those emotional things, and I'm capable of it. I was raised by a single mother in Iowa - I'm just trapped in a big, dumb body.
