“I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.”
Romantic“I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and to see how he goes about business, which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.”

Romantic“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“Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.”

Trust“I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.”
Amazing“I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.”
Amazing“I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.”

Love“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.”

Funny“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“A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.”
Dreams“Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.”
Trust“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“Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.”
