Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.

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.

Elves are cool, man.

Elves live in harmony with the world, and I try to do that.

As an actor, you can't think about the end result or the fame; you just have to focus on the day you're in. You have no control over the finished product, what people will think of it, so all you have is the experience of making it, and you have to stay focused on that.

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