"I love to live. I love adventure"
About this Quote
Pure adrenaline packaged as philosophy. When Jason Momoa says, "I love to live. I love adventure", he isn't trying to win the Nobel for nuance; he's staking a claim to a brand of masculinity that reads as bodily, present-tense, and defiantly un-ironic.
The first sentence is almost comically broad, but that simplicity is the point. "I love to live" suggests a conscious rejection of jadedness, the default posture of a lot of celebrity talk. It's a line that plays well against the cultural mood of burnout and curated cynicism: a reminder that enthusiasm can be a stance, not just a feeling. Then he sharpens it: "I love adventure". Now the life he's praising isn't quiet stability; it's risk, motion, the kind of narrative you can tell later.
Momoa's public persona has always leaned into a specific archetype: the physically capable outsider who still feels warm, approachable, even goofy. Adventure here isn't just bungee jumping or motorcycles; it's a permission slip to be big, loud, and in the world. It's also a subtle defense against the actor's paradox: living under constant observation. If you're famous, your days can become highly managed. Declaring "adventure" is a way of reclaiming agency - not just being cast in stories, but choosing one.
The repetition of "I love" matters, too. It's declarative, almost childlike, and that lack of self-protection is the emotional hook. It's an identity statement built to be shared, not scrutinized.
