For me, what makes great actors, always is how truthful they are to the character and the story and the emotion that they're trying to tell.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.

To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings... In fact, I'm trying to think - what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do.

Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It’s all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing.

I loved going surfing down on Venice Beach. Id go out with a board under my arm and think, I cant do that in Cranhill.

But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun to go to these nights out, like the opening of a film or something, but I dip in and out of it.
