I like movies that leave you with something to think about, to discuss, to debate, you know?

In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.

Toronto Film Festival is one of those festivals where there are 400 movies, and unless you have a distributor who is super confident and puts a lot of money into it, sometimes movies can go unwatched or unnoticed.

As Aragorn said at Helm's Deep, "There is always hope."

I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.

Jung viewed Freud as a mentor, but he never wanted to be anybody's disciple.

I realise how important it is to use the time I have. I respect people who want to do that by watching television. I happen to want to read books. But I know I can't read all the books or watch all the movies in one lifetime.
