I don't really push myself upon people. I don't have that. When it meets and things fall in line, it's meant to happen. It's happened that way. I just try to do my best and do my work, and then it falls in line.
In this business, we have to travel so far away from our families. We have two children, so if we can work together, that's awesome. Before I met Lisa Bonet , it was a dream to work with her.
I don't want to just play the same thing. But with The Red Road, no one has ever seen me like that. No one really even knows that I smile, have a personality and have a sense of humor.
You cannot embrace the action or play the role correctly if you're having someone else do the movements for you. I want to be doing it myself, unless it's going to be a train wreck.
To do six to 10 episodes of high-quality writing, and then be able to go direct my own things, and do a movie, if it comes along, sure. I just want to act and do good work.
A lot of people don't know enough about me. When I meet people who freak out about Game of Thrones, they don't even know that I can speak English.
There are tons of things I'd love to do. I want to do comedy. It's not that I don't want to play a superhero, but I got to play Conan and Drogo.
Some people we know in our lives come up to a crossroads, and they could go left or right, and then end up in a totally different place.
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.
I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based, so that I could direct Road to Paloma and show that side.
A wolf is not bad for eating and tearing apart something, if it's for survival. It doesn't do it to be menacing.
I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.
I took no money to make art, but my woman backed me up on it and I want my children to see their father happy.
I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.
The new celebrity thing is going to take some time to get used to because I really am not used to that!
I've been on shows that went for years and years and years, and I was not ready for that again.
I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.
I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.
I wanted to know everything about the blues. I think it constantly changes for me.
As a Polynesian, our gods are tied to water, so this means something special.
I don't really have any limitations for what I want to do, as an actor.
I lay naked in furs a lot. I think I'm naked more than I talk.
My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'
I'm one of those freaky people that actually reads books.
I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.
Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman buddy.
I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.
I'm raised to actually think, to use my brain.
I was a huge comic book fan, and I still am.
I got called 'pretty boy' my whole life.
