Love Quote by Jason Momoa

"I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it"

About this Quote

Momoa’s line reads like a shrug, but it’s actually a mission statement for a certain kind of modern celebrity: not the “mysterious artiste,” not the empty brand avatar, but the enthusiast who turns preparation into proof of sincerity. “I love life” is doing double duty here. It’s a piece of surfer-philosopher optimism, sure, but it’s also a way of framing work as play - a refusal to separate craft from appetite. In an industry that often rewards image over depth, he’s arguing that the best performances come from curiosity that borders on obsession.

The key phrase is “if there’s something that I’m playing that I love.” He’s not claiming he researches everything equally; he’s admitting selectivity. That honesty matters. It positions him as an actor driven by affinity: when the role clicks with his real interests (ocean culture, physicality, mythology, adventure), he goes deep. The subtext is: I’m not pretending to be a chameleon; I’m building a career around a personal compass.

Contextually, this fits Momoa’s persona and the era that shaped it. Franchise entertainment now demands a press-tour identity as much as an on-screen one, and “I’ll research it” reassures fans that the passion isn’t performative. It’s a quiet flex, too: research signals discipline without the self-seriousness of “method.” He sells professionalism through joy, making homework sound like a privilege rather than a burden.
