Travis Fimmel
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.Collection: Technology
Religion is such a path with people.Collection: Religion
Gabriel Byrne is just an amazing fellow and an amazing actor.Collection: Amazing
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.Collection: Positive
It's beautiful, shooting in Ireland. It's an amazing country.Collection: Amazing
I've been misunderstood when it comes to women. I've got a big heart and a little brain. But I love women being women; there's something about their skin. I do love strong, independent women, but they are definitely complicated.Collection: Women
Good shows tend to be more fun to do. If you feel like you are doing something good and making a good show, it is a lot more enjoyable.
I'm not into 'things.'
Where I'm from, you go to college, become a carpenter or something, and stay in the district.
Acting wasn't some long-held dream, and it still isn't, really. I'm just trying to make some money and pay the bills.
I'm not good at concentrating.
I'd be rich if I didn't drink.
I wanted to re-examine stories people think they know without the rose-colored glasses of Hollywood and let the audience decide for themselves if people like Wyatt Earp were sinners or victims of life circumstances.
Nobody wants to play a one-dimensional character.
I hate learning lines, so the fight stuff's always my favorite.
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 never worked out, mate. It doesn't interest me.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
I learned how to deal with people with elegance from Patrick Swayze.
I don't have a place anywhere but Australia; I just don't spend much time there.
I want a job where I work for eight months, then do nothing for four.
A lot of people talk too much. They speak... except they don't.
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.
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.
I'm the most unlikely person when it comes to fashion. I don't really have much sense of it.
I like Rebecca Miller and her writing. She's a tremendous writer and director.
True stories are way more interesting.
On 'Vikings,' nobody's got an ego. Michael Hirst is just so open and so collaborative.
I think there should be comedy in everything; it doesn't matter what you're doing.
My grandparents were always farmers.
I don't like to be the only person talking in a room.
I'm always happy for a job. It's all fun.
George Blagden is a great actor.
I'm always getting texts asking why I'm not responding on Instagram or Facebook, and I'm like, 'It's not me. You're writing to some stranger.'
My idea of working out is drinking whiskey - instead of beer.
There is nothing better than an attractive woman who doesn't act attractive.
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?
The Vikings were the last people to fight with axes, which must have been horrible.
The landscape in Ireland is just - I've never been in such a beautiful place with the lakes and ocean and everything.
There's a lot of sacrifices you have to make to be the boss.
I love being an idiot, and acting lets you be an idiot.
As a kid, my nickname was Tarzan. I never wore shoes, and I walked around and fished and camped out and just was a grub.
I'm not one of those little kids that grow up wanting to be an actor.
I eat with my hands when I am home alone!
Women are so complicated, it's unbelievable.
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.
Your job as an actor, I guess, is just to make people relate to the character.
'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.
I grew up on a farm. We had 11 dogs and, like, 1,500 cattle.
I'm way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It's just my personality, I guess.
