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.

I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and to see how he goes about business, which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.

Elves are cool, man.

I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.

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

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... 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.

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

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?

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?

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

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.

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 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.

I'm trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.

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