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.

• 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.
• I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.
• 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 crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.
• 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.
• 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?
• 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've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.
• Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.
