I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.

The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.

I think men don't know what they want, so the idea of not knowing what they're getting makes it a little easier on them.

I have these huge, pointed ears. They're like three times the size of Orlando Bloom's ears. And I think he has ear envy, I love my ears.

I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all.

My character is different from all of the Elves you've met before, in that she's really young. And I keep telling journalists this because I've really focused on that in my performance. I'm trying to distinguish her from all of these incredibly sage and wise Elves that have lived for thousands of years.

Even though I'm resting I'm accomplishing something by sewing that shirt that I've been meaning to sew for weeks. And it's relaxing. It's so very meditative and quiet and enjoyable. But at least I'm producing something. I'm being productive in some way. I have a very hard time being completely idle.
