“I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.”
Amazing“The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?”
Cool“I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.”
Amazing“I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.”
Movies“I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?”
Funny“I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.”
Trust“Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.”
Strength“Yeah, I mean the material, directors, the other cast, and if you think you can do something with the character then you do it and go from there. I am looking forward to doing some smaller movies.”
Movies“I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.”
Learning“Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.”
Trust“Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.”
Failure“I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.”
Family“I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.”
Dating“When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.”
Love“The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?”
Cool“Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.”
Death“I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.”
Cool“I'm trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.”
Cool“People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.”
Trust“There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.”
Failure“Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.”
Experience“Elves are cool, man.”
