A Quote by Jason Momoa

I don't want to play a superhero. Drogo may not be Superman, but it is a phenomenal role. I didn't want to get typecast. Drogo is an exceptional character. Conan is iconic. Whether it does good or not, you just try to elevate it to the next level.

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.

Jason Momoa

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

Jason Momoa

When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away. I couldn't believe it was happening. I had to have that role.

Jason Momoa

The thing is that what you try to do when you play is you try to play not below a certain level. In other words, it can be a special day where it would be phenomenal, but if it's not below a certain level, that's the goal. You know, that's what you want to do. That's why you practice and so on.

Itzhak Perlman

I go train, and like with Conan, I'm in leather, and with Drogo, I'm in leather or armor or something else. I'm not in my adidas sweat suit or my matching tracksuit pants to go work out. I got too busy of a day. I've got my boots.

Jason Momoa

I really want to play a superhero. I want to take the role-model thing up a notch. I've always been a fan of movies and TV, and to be able to play the ultimate TV superhero would be awesome.

Samira Wiley

I know, who doesn't want to play a superhero, right? And everyone wants to play Superman or Batman. Everyone wants to play a superhero.

Justin Hartley

You have an iconic character in Superman. You want to keep him vital and relevant to the audience as it evolves. So there's a creative dynamic.

Chris Claremont

I want to play a character which is as far away from myself as possible and a character that isn't even human, a superhero is just that.

Joivan Wade

I just want to get to the level where I can say that that's my level, just try to play well, get up there.

Jennifer Capriati

I can easily come up with ten really iconic stories/trade paperbacks for Superman, Batman, others... name me ten equally big, iconic Wonder Woman stories. Much harder. That ain't the character's fault, that isn't sexism, that's just not servicing the character.

J. Michael Straczynski

I'd like to do a play, but I can't find the right thing. I don't want it to be a starring role. I just want to play a really interesting character.

Carey Mulligan

This character matters so much to so many people. I want to get that right. I want to do it justice. I want people to believe in the character and have faith in the character and kids to grow up wanting to be Superman. Or, God forbid, there's people who are going through hardship and wishing that this character would turn up and save them.

Henry Cavill

In Hollywood, one doesn't get typecast. You can play a mother in one film and take up the role of a high school teenager in the next.

Koena Mitra

I don't think I want to play title roles. I don't want to be the face on the poster. I don't want that pressure of having the success riding on my shoulders. I just want to play the most interesting parts. I actually think it's incredibly rare to get an interesting female character that is the lead in a film. Usually the character parts are so much more interesting to play.

Carey Mulligan

There's a couple of things you shouldn't do to other humans and you shouldn't say to other humans that Khal Drogo does.
