00:00:03.190 --> 00:00:05.889
[noise ...shouting]

00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:16.239
..... Ray Fisher

00:00:20.036 --> 00:00:23.770
and Jason Momoa

00:00:29.942 --> 00:00:32.178
ever since I was a little boy

00:00:32.858 --> 00:00:35.332
I always wanted to be a father

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:38.204
but never in my life

00:00:38.666 --> 00:00:41.251
did I ever think that would be an actor

00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:45.403
I was raised in small town America

00:00:46.393 --> 00:00:49.236
surrounded by hard work
cornfields and pigs

00:00:50.706 --> 00:00:52.582
my uncles and grandfather were the

00:00:52.902 --> 00:00:54.963
hunters and builders in the Midwest

00:00:56.523 --> 00:00:59.316
I was raised by a strong single mother

00:00:59.795 --> 00:01:01.875
my mom's an artist in every way

00:01:03.378 --> 00:01:07.522
she's a painter a photographer so wander

00:01:08.498 --> 00:01:10.786
always searching always seeing

00:01:13.552 --> 00:01:16.698
I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes

00:01:18.649 --> 00:01:21.548
my mom introduced me to skateboarding and rock climbing

00:01:22.289 --> 00:01:24.521
and i have absolutely love her for that

00:01:26.452 --> 00:01:27.939
because skateboarding

00:01:28.289 --> 00:01:30.354
it give birth to a style for me

00:01:31.186 --> 00:01:33.263
wasn't just the skating it was the music

00:01:33.558 --> 00:01:35.558
it was the crew, the underground

00:01:36.735 --> 00:01:38.970
architecture was forever changed

00:01:41.352 --> 00:01:44.203
you wouldn't believe how much fun you could have on a curb

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.948
and climbing

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.875
it made me face my fears and my doubts

00:01:51.615 --> 00:01:53.225
explore the Impossibles

00:01:53.225 --> 00:01:54.998
problem solved for movement

00:01:56.088 --> 00:01:58.223
I learn to trust my hands find my feet

00:01:58.591 --> 00:01:59.945
I found balance

00:02:00.453 --> 00:02:02.142
and I found my passion

00:02:03.922 --> 00:02:05.452
I wanted to see the world climbing

00:02:07.092 --> 00:02:09.138
I crave the road the wild

00:02:10.822 --> 00:02:13.196
I wanted to get out explore it all

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:18.244
camping, fires, playing music, telling stories

00:02:18.529 --> 00:02:20.561
living in the dirt

00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:23.363
eating crackers and sardis

00:02:24.243 --> 00:02:25.777
I was a dirtbag

00:02:26.894 --> 00:02:28.316
it's not a care in the world

00:02:31.358 --> 00:02:33.053
I pact on my life

00:02:33.843 --> 00:02:35.346
and I put it on my back

00:02:36.090 --> 00:02:37.460
free to wander

00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:39.534
everywhere from Tibet

00:02:39.534 --> 00:02:40.903
to france, italy, japan

00:02:41.972 --> 00:02:44.003
everywhere USA

00:02:46.833 --> 00:02:49.108
my travels made me a student life

00:02:51.777 --> 00:02:54.788
and somehow that path led me to a crossroads

00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:56.970
and at the end of the road

00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:58.814
acting corned me

00:02:59.894 --> 00:03:01.362
she seduced me

00:03:03.193 --> 00:03:04.958
for an anxious young man it finally

00:03:04.958 --> 00:03:07.224
allowed me to be anything 
that I wanted to be

00:03:10.015 --> 00:03:13.318
the wanderlust that gave away the direction and purpose

00:03:15.133 --> 00:03:16.766
I could be a barbarian or

00:03:16.766 --> 00:03:17.766
a bartender

00:03:18.226 --> 00:03:20.213
I could be a savage cob

00:03:20.213 --> 00:03:22.032
or the king of Atlantis

00:03:23.369 --> 00:03:25.322
19 years have been doing this

00:03:27.098 --> 00:03:29.089
now I'm an actor, I am a director

00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.639
I write and I produce

00:03:33.234 --> 00:03:34.523
I found my path

00:03:36.286 --> 00:03:37.843
I am a craftsman

00:03:40.525 --> 00:03:42.781
my craft is storytelling

00:03:44.301 --> 00:03:45.812
and then it happened

00:03:45.812 --> 00:03:46.812
she came

00:03:47.732 --> 00:03:49.170
my muse

00:03:49.170 --> 00:03:50.498
the love of my life

00:03:51.448 --> 00:03:53.118
my partner in crime

00:03:53.498 --> 00:03:57.143
I felt stupid crazy madly in love with her

00:03:57.733 --> 00:03:59.755
then my wife gave me three beautiful

00:03:59.755 --> 00:04:01.155
Farrell kids

00:04:01.835 --> 00:04:03.185
Zozo bear

00:04:03.445 --> 00:04:05.585
Lolo bear my lovey

00:04:06.525 --> 00:04:08.271
and the wolf

00:04:10.021 --> 00:04:11.197
and with them

00:04:11.657 --> 00:04:13.727
my dreams finally came true

00:04:14.447 --> 00:04:15.857
I am a father

00:04:16.197 --> 00:04:18.200
I found my place

00:04:18.522 --> 00:04:19.857
my home

00:04:23.647 --> 00:04:25.953
and like any father we want our children

00:04:25.953 --> 00:04:28.473
to see us doing what we love

00:04:30.003 --> 00:04:30.913
but now

00:04:31.243 --> 00:04:32.855
my passion for storytelling

00:04:32.855 --> 00:04:35.108
pulls me away for long periods of time

00:04:36.938 --> 00:04:38.168
and that scares me

00:04:38.648 --> 00:04:41.226
the nomadic lifestyle that once inspired me

00:04:41.636 --> 00:04:44.748
and now takes me away
from the things that I love most

00:04:46.202 --> 00:04:48.231
mohanna my family

00:04:50.831 --> 00:04:52.899
I'm frail of what I'm gonna miss

00:04:53.539 --> 00:04:55.059
the laughs, the cries

00:04:55.059 --> 00:04:56.542
be able to help them

00:04:57.392 --> 00:04:58.740
teach them

00:05:00.390 --> 00:05:02.849
I don't want to miss those moments

00:05:04.049 --> 00:05:05.845
if I think about it

00:05:06.645 --> 00:05:08.315
I only have five more years

00:05:09.115 --> 00:05:10.715
five summers

00:05:11.375 --> 00:05:14.239
and I'm not the center of the universe

00:05:19.159 --> 00:05:21.411
I decided this around my children

00:05:21.411 --> 00:05:22.566
with who I am

00:05:23.026 --> 00:05:24.686
with music, painting

00:05:25.186 --> 00:05:26.902
all my art forms

00:05:27.822 --> 00:05:29.522
because if I teach them to escape

00:05:29.522 --> 00:05:31.640
then they can surf or snowboard

00:05:33.510 --> 00:05:34.773
ultimate balance

00:05:34.773 --> 00:05:37.554
bold and brave in any train

00:05:38.704 --> 00:05:41.000
and if they teach them to climb

00:05:41.690 --> 00:05:44.649
then they can push themselves to the limits

00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:47.143
gracefully moved to fear and doubt

00:05:54.403 --> 00:05:57.599
to learn respect for our natural resources

00:05:58.529 --> 00:06:01.040
because if they can admire nature's true colours

00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:04.269
they can begin to see the beauty in all things

00:06:04.859 --> 00:06:06.568
to be aware of those inconspicuous

00:06:06.568 --> 00:06:08.516
and overlook details of life

00:06:09.146 --> 00:06:11.004
I want to give my eyes

00:06:11.867 --> 00:06:13.604
they will know art

00:06:13.604 --> 00:06:15.387
the paint, the sculpt

00:06:15.817 --> 00:06:18.217
to understand light and darkness and composition

00:06:18.747 --> 00:06:20.027
to find their soul

00:06:20.737 --> 00:06:22.099
and that's where the music lies

00:06:22.099 --> 00:06:23.240
the soul

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:25.770
to teach them to play

00:06:25.770 --> 00:06:27.370
cause if they can play they can sing

00:06:27.370 --> 00:06:29.507
and if they can sing then they can dance

00:06:30.017 --> 00:06:32.337
and when you dance, you celebrate

00:06:32.931 --> 00:06:34.956
it is all connected

00:06:37.056 --> 00:06:38.715
these lessons will teach them

00:06:38.715 --> 00:06:40.312
to express them self

00:06:42.472 --> 00:06:44.062
and if I build it

00:06:44.612 --> 00:06:46.886
then I can teach them hard work

00:06:46.886 --> 00:06:49.137
dedication, integrity

00:06:49.767 --> 00:06:51.597
a moral code

00:06:52.977 --> 00:06:55.594
now every time my children play

00:06:55.594 --> 00:06:58.837
they can feel that their Papa is always with them

00:07:03.717 --> 00:07:06.608
since the moment i left my mother's house

00:07:06.758 --> 00:07:09.648
to the moment that i built a home with my wife

00:07:10.188 --> 00:07:12.307
from the ultimate highs

00:07:12.837 --> 00:07:15.613
to the lowest that brought me to my knees

00:07:16.593 --> 00:07:18.955
there has been one constant

00:07:19.825 --> 00:07:22.748
something that stayed with me through all of this

00:07:24.058 --> 00:07:26.020
like a home on the road

00:07:26.830 --> 00:07:28.960
a comfort disguises armor

00:07:30.668 --> 00:07:32.868
I see it every time that I look down at these

00:07:33.198 --> 00:07:34.910
tattered old pants

00:07:36.110 --> 00:07:37.797
in my battlefield

00:07:39.356 --> 00:07:40.999
from the paint

00:07:41.809 --> 00:07:43.419
to the stitches

00:07:44.449 --> 00:07:47.167
every scratch ding laughs and cries

00:07:47.167 --> 00:07:49.145
recorded in these pants

00:07:50.375 --> 00:07:52.069
every mark is a memory

00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:53.603
every tear adds up

00:07:53.603 --> 00:07:56.057
the life I always wanted to live

00:07:57.567 --> 00:08:00.284
everything I am is in his pants

00:08:02.827 --> 00:08:04.703
and there will come a day

00:08:05.603 --> 00:08:07.333
when I will be gone

00:08:07.903 --> 00:08:09.623
and my children

00:08:11.003 --> 00:08:13.286
or my grandchildren

00:08:13.286 --> 00:08:15.086
they will find these beat-up old cards

00:08:15.896 --> 00:08:18.411
in a dusty corner somewhere

00:08:19.431 --> 00:08:21.267
and they will know

00:08:22.717 --> 00:08:25.232
this is the campus of my life
