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.

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.

I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that.

I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.

I remember one time that I was filming a scene in whych my character rides through Troy on a chariot. I just looked around at this incredible set thinking 'This is the life'.

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