 Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. |
| Maybe our generation is more about sex, but it feels like romance is dying out. |
| 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. |
| 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 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. |
| Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece. |
| 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. |
| When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. |
| I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends. |
| 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 think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that. |
| I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version. |
| I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept. |
| 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. |
| 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 try to take the time to appreciate and I certainly do appreciate and I do feel proud but that is probably one of the things I need to work on, building a bit of time for 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. |
| If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about. |
