“Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.”
Death“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“Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.”
Death“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“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“There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.”
Failure“I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.”
Romantic“Elves are cool, man.”
Cool“I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.”
Amazing“People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.”
Trust“I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.”
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“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“Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.”
Failure“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'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.”
Learning“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'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“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“Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.”
Trust“I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.”
Movies“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.”
