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

Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.

I know you can be up one minute and drop the next, so I'm trying to maintain a steady course so I can have some longevity.

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

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.

We have to make good use of the time we have. That simple. We have to wake up every day, knowing that it's not just an ordinary day. We have to take the moment, seize each day.
