"I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max"
About this Quote
The phrase “learn it to the absolute max” does heavy cultural work. It’s boyish, slightly ridiculous, and perfectly suited to Momoa’s public persona: the big, playful physical presence who is also a crafts-and-competence guy. “Absolute max” isn’t a measurable goal; it’s an aesthetic. He’s not describing mastery as credentials, but as immersion - the kind that shows up in bodies (stunts, climbing, surfing), in hobbies (motorcycles, axes, guitars), and in the mythology modern actors are expected to carry: not just talent, but lifestyle.
The subtext is about control of narrative. Momoa’s brand balances brute-force charisma with approachability, and this line helps him claim both. He signals seriousness about craft without sounding precious, and he channels a familiar contemporary virtue - passionate self-teaching - while dodging the corporate language of “optimization.” It lands because it sounds like the truth people tell about themselves when they’re trying to explain why they can’t do anything halfway.
