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.

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.

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 did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.

I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.

Yeah, I mean the material, directors, the other cast, and if you think you can do something with the character then you do it and go from there. I am looking forward to doing some smaller movies.

I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

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.

I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.

I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

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.

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.

Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

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.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?
