I'm not into 'things.'

That's the only thing I'm jealous about 'Game of Thrones': they get to go to Spain all the time.

I have enough trouble just speaking normal Australian. On 'Vikings,' we had a great vocal coach who helped make all of us sound the same. But I'm very bad at accents, to be honest.

I've been lucky to do the job I do because I've travelled, and that's probably the best perk of the job... well, that and the free lunches.

You don't get recognized that much unless you want to get recognized, like if you go to the fancy joints and that. It's like, L.A. - there are 10 restaurants. If you want to be seen, you go.

I've always built furniture and done farm work.

I think there should be comedy in everything; it doesn't matter what you're doing.

Where I'm from, you go to college, become a carpenter or something, and stay in the district.

I can't drink if I have to get up early, man. It kills me.

I'm always just travelling out of a suitcase. You get used to it.

I'd rather be a guy that can build a house or fix a car than be able to walk like a ballet dancer.

I wish you could make money and people never saw what you did. Then you could relax and not care about how bad you are.

'Vikings' has been a great experience. You get so many great friends. And I love Ireland and the people and crew. It's a beautiful place.

People take years learning how to act; it's a skill, not just a job. If I tried it out and thought I'd be OK, then perhaps I'd go for it, but it's not the kind of thing you can get into just because of your looks.

Gabriel Byrne is just an amazing fellow and an amazing actor.

I want a job where I work for eight months, then do nothing for four.

My dad and one brother are working the farm. They laughed when I said I wanted to act. We work very hard, but for my family, it's just another experience in life, y'know?

I don't have a place anywhere but Australia; I just don't spend much time there.

I didn't know exactly what a hipster was until we were in Brooklyn. It's like a species. On first seeing it, I was like, 'Oh my God, oh my God...' Pre-tt-y fun-ny.

I don't like to be the only person talking in a room.

I like cable: you only work four months out of the year and have the other eight months to do movies if you want.

I don't like technology and all that. I'm a farm boy. I would rather live in that time when you had to provide for your family. I don't know. I'm a country kid, so I don't like modern technology.

I'm always thinking I'm messing up. I did a lot of classes. I can't stand being on stage or the only one talking in a room, so class really helped me deal with that. It doesn't really get any easier, but it helps you focus on the acting.

I learned how to deal with people with elegance from Patrick Swayze.

The Vikings were the last people to fight with axes, which must have been horrible.

I love being an idiot, and acting lets you be an idiot.

It's hard to prove yourself when the substance isn't there in certain roles.

I actually don't think Ireland has a summer. I never experienced a summer there. It was just so wet.

I don't take care of myself at all. I've no idea why I'm not a fat bloater. I eat everything and anything. I never cook and just eat take-outs.

Because the Vikings never documented anything - they couldn't read or write - the history is always gonna be a little up in the air.

I'm not drawn to actresses, but I have no rules about that. I just want to be around positive people. The toughest thing will be to find a girl who will be prepared to live in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the country. I don't think L.A.'s the place to find one.
