I'm a big softie.

I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.

My kids are always like, 'Why do people always want to take pictures with you?' and I'm like, 'Because I'm your Dada, and you're my daughter. That's why.' It's definitely mostly because of 'Game of Thrones.'

Zack Snyder is a huge fan of 'Game of Thrones,' and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.

I'm a big kid, you know?

I grew up being an artist, but also rock-climbing and traveling the world and teaching my kids.

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

To play Khal Drogo was phenomenal, and I wished there was more stuff he could have done. I'm going to miss that character.

There aren't, like, four Aquamans before me. I get to set the tone for it.

I was an outcast. I was from a town of wrestlers and football players.

I couldn't get a job to save my life. That's why I wrote 'Road to Paloma.' That got into Sundance and got into that scene, and that's how I got the role in 'The Red Road.'

When I got 'Stargate: Atlantis,' I said, 'Man, I'd love to be on HBO.'

I want it to be the greatest thing I ever do: make good humans.

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

Both my parents are artists, so that just makes me look at everything slightly different. I listened to different music; I dressed differently. So I kind of grew up without following the pack.

I don't want to be like Spider-man or Batman, the do-gooder kind of thing.

Emilia Clarke is someone I'm very close to, like a sister, and I love her very much.

I told my wife, 'One woman, lots of toys!'

I do love horses, but I'd rather be on motorcycles.
