How can you be in hell while you are in my heart? |
I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends. |
I definitely could relate to the father aspect of the script because although my father is alive, I thought he was dead until I was 13, |
I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic. |
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 guess people want to think that. It sells papers, doesn't it? ... I don't listen to that stuff. I ignore it. I'm really happy in my current relationship. |
I love this guy, ... I love the journey he goes on. It's a story we can all relate to, in terms of success and failure and the momentary happiness in life. What really makes people tick? What really makes them understand life? |
I mean, I have a great job. I get to dress up and become somebody else, especially when it's someone like Legolas, who's this super-cool kind of otherworldly elf. It's, like, I'm lucky, man, so why would I not appreciate that? |
I prefer Christina Aguilera to Britney Spears - loved her VOICE, what a voice! |
I remember thinking, 'Wow, we're making a really special, heartfelt story that I think a lot of people will be able to relate to,' ... When you're sitting in the theater and you see somebody coming to terms with life and death, success and failure ? which is everything that Drew does ? it feels freeing, because you realize that these emotions escape no one. |
I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go. |
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. |
If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about. |
It shows America in a way that the world needs to see it right now ... and a way that America needs to see it right now. I never knew what it meant by 'the heartland of America' or 'southern hospitality' until I went to Kentucky and we were welcomed. I was the lucky British actor who got to stand in front of the Lorraine Motel, the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City or just cross that beautiful yellow bridge in Arkansas. I was in those locations and they are very powerful places to be. This is an America that the world hasn't seen for a while ... or maybe even America has forgotten about. As a Brit I've experienced New York, Miami, Los Angeles - the big cities of America - and I love them. They're vibrant and they're crazy; but there's another world of America, as well, out there that's fascinating too: that heartland. |
It was amazing to be part of a community. A couple of girls even offered to knit me a scarf. |
