Travis Fimmel’s 5 most popular quotes
- People have such a distinctive look to them these days. Whatever image they’re doing, a lot of the time it sums up their character a bit.

It’s a bit weird; everybody is trying to be different, but then they’re exactly the same as whatever mob they hang out with.
- 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 a country boy, so I really appreciate the country. I love fishing, so I fish between takes on set. During lunch, I go for a fish.
- I hate learning lines, so the fight stuff’s always my favorite.
- I think every job you have to lie to get. You always say how wonderful it all is, that it’s an amazing script – “I love you, you’re such a great director.” I think every actor does that.
