Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.
People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.
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.
Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about.
Being a gentleman is a worthy goal.
When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.
Creativity is the key for any child with dyslexia, or for anyone for that matter. Then you can think outside of the box. Teach them anything is attainable. Let them run with what you see is whatever they need to run with.
I won't admit or deny anything...makes me more interesting.
I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.
Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.
How can you be in hell while you are in my heart?
Vig used to call me 'Elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails.'
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.
My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.
Dyslexia is not due to a lack of intelligence, it's a lack of access. It's like, if you're dyslexic, you have all the information you need, but find it harder to process.
Someone tried to save my soul in a gas station.
The role of an actor is to make every character believable.
I cherished my time filming 'Lord of the Rings' in New Zealand - it's the most beautiful, magical place with great hospitality. I love places that are completely cut off from everything - where I can relax and enjoy the simplicity of nature.
I need to keep reinventing myself.
I trained for three years at drama school to be an actor - not a celebrity.
Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.
Although it is a fantasy film, it's as real as it can be. You have to imagine that an audience will buy their ticket to a cinema and get on a first-class flight and journey to Middle Earth.
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 just keep pinching myself that that's my wife.
