I'm a huge fan of [Elijah Wood] work and a huge fan of him, as a person. What's great about getting to know him is that he's just a really lovely, regular guy.

Like the Elizabeth I play, Queen Elizabeth is a monarch who actually moves with the times. She gets new information, assimilates it, and changes in order the fit in with the way the world is moving. I admire that.

I have been out of drama school for 13 years, so there are 13 years worth of graduates behind me.

Elijah Wood is interested in people, in life and in music.

[Elijah Wood] has got such a broad outlook. It's so much bigger than just the acting industry.

[Elijah Wood] is a really fully-rounded, amazing human being, and I feel incredibly lucky, especially given how closely we have to work together.

You had to make everything much more truthful for the camera. With the stage it's a given that it's going to be theatrical.
