Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.

Everything you know, all the things that you thought were important, drift into the background. And even things that were important really come to the fore and he's one of them.

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?

I trained for three years at drama school to be an actor - not a celebrity.

The philosophies behind meditation are very current today and are a way of finding some sort of peace.

I mean, I have a great job. I get to dress up and become somebody else, especially when it's someone like Legolas, who's this super-cool kind of otherworldly elf. It's, like, I'm lucky, man, so why would I not appreciate that?

I can be a little bit outrageous. I can be a lot of things. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I love to go out there and do kind of crazy stuff which is slightly outrageous, like bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing and that sort of stuff. But I also like to just chill with my friends and go and see movies and do normal things.
