The philosophy that I've embraced isn't about sitting under a tree and studying my navel.

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

When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.

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.

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.

I don't know any family that doesn't have a story somewhere. Besides, it you didn't have those things in life, you'd be so bland.

Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.
