Actor

I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I've got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.

I'm a big kid, you know?

Everything has technique to it. So if there's something you wanna try out, I think it's always good to get a trainer or listen to people who know what they're doing.

If I had a horse of my own that I loved and fed and knew me, it would be amazing.

I've been fascinated with Maori culture since I was a kid.

I got called 'pretty boy' my whole life.

There is a lot of pretty horrific stuff that happens, and I don't usually get those kinds of characters who get to go to those places.

I'm not the king in my own house. I have to wash the dishes and take out the trash and say, 'Yes, baby.' I'm 6-foot-5, but I kind of walk around hunched over.

I'm a strong alpha male but sensitive.

If you're too disciplined, it can mess up your mind. You need to have that treat for yourself.

I grew up with a single mother, and I wasn't out shooting too many guns.

My son loves swords and shields and dragons.

I actually went to study with the Ramapoughs in New York. I wanted to be able to see the mountains and the forest, be around the people.

I watch action movies, and you don't remember when Jason Statham does a kick or punch. It's character trait stuff you remember.

I can't wait until I get to play the fat guy in the office.

When I did play team sports, I was into soccer and hockey. I loved hockey. And then rock climbing became the thing that got me out of Iowa, and I traveled the world for rock climbing. I really loved the, I guess you would say, dirtbag lifestyle of not eating much and traveling the world and slipping into different cultures and just observing.

Iowa is an amazing place. But I didn't have much race around me. I was definitely not like everyone there.

That's one of the great things about being an actor. You get to learn all these things normal people don't get to learn.

For 'Conan,' I had to eat boiled chicken breast and work out all the time and basically eat like a bird every two hours and stay ripped.

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