I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.
Jason Momoa
I have my ups and my downs like anyone. All I can do is be me.
I'm a strong alpha male but sensitive.
I'm an early riser. I work out really hard. I push myself; I get my job done, and at the end of the day, there's a Guinness waiting for me.
Anyone who spends time on the road knows there's something special about being in the middle of Utah or Nebraska - you sit with it, and there's a peace about it. You can go left or right, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path.
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.
If you're too disciplined, it can mess up your mind. You need to have that treat for yourself.
My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'
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.'
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.
The reason why I wanted to direct is because there are personal stories that I want to tell, but also because I love every part of movie making - from the wardrobe to the set decoration to cinematography.
I grew up with a single mother, and I wasn't out shooting too many guns.
I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.
I think I was pretty reckless and definitely a bit out of control. Now, I'm more focused.
I'm raised to actually think, to use my brain.
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.
I'm a Batman fan from Day 1. My daughter's favorite is Wonder Woman, and my son loves The Flash, Cyborg, and Superman.
You paint something, and it's yours. It's your heart up on the wall.
I'm a huge art buff.
I've led a career of having to take work to see my family, over picking and choosing, instead of 'I need food on the table and I don't know how I'm going to pay the mortgage.'
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.
Emilia Clarke is someone I'm very close to, like a sister, and I love her very much.
If I had a horse of my own that I loved and fed and knew me, it would be amazing.
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 would love to do comedy.
Swimming can be boring. To me, it's like going on a treadmill.
You get a lot of respect for 'Game of Thrones,' and it was a lot of fun to play, but it didn't help my career a lot because Khal Drago doesn't even speak English.
After 'Game of Thrones,' having a character like that, that's like the pinnacle of your career.
My son loves swords and shields and dragons.
When I got 'Stargate: Atlantis,' I said, 'Man, I'd love to be on HBO.'
Whenever I wake up, I'm up. I don't lie there like an idiot. I get up, run up a hill, get some exercise, and have some time with my thoughts.
I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.
When you're just an actor, you do your role, and then you're in your trailer. It's not as hands on as when you're directing. You live and breathe it.
I saw Frank Frazetta's art, and it seared on my memory. I love his paintings. They're so amazing.
I want to be remembered as, I hope, an amazing husband and a great father.
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.
My wife's Lisa Bonet. I'm a very lucky man.
If you're in a small town somewhere and you can go and visit Paris, you can go to the top of Everest, that's just cool. It's worth it because you become more educated in something.
My wife says to do the dishes, and I'm like, 'Yes, baby. I can clean up.'
We don't own a TV. My kids are always outdoors.
When I'm by myself, I'm really cool and nice to everyone, but then the whole paparazzi thing? If you see me with my kids, I change.
This is a unique legal loophole in the U.S.: If a non-native comes on a reservation and commits any crime, the non-native should be prosecuted by a federal court. Tribal law can arrest and hold someone for a year, but tribal law cannot prosecute non-natives. So since the federal courts are so overloaded, some of the cases get tossed out.
Both my parents were painters.
When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn't believe it was happening. I had to have that role.
I told my wife, 'One woman, lots of toys!'
My children aren't normally allowed to watch a lot of things that I'm in.
I can't wait until I get to play the fat guy in the office.
I've got kids, goats. My wife always wanted a donkey, so I bought her one.
I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.
I'm a big kid, you know?
