I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

I cherished my time filming 'Lord of the Rings' in New Zealand - it's the most beautiful, magical place with great hospitality. I love places that are completely cut off from everything - where I can relax and enjoy the simplicity of nature.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there's a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.

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.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.

Wanting to be a rock star, I get it. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, dude! The freedom!'

Women, as mothers of the earth, deserve the utmost respect.
