I think 'The Lord of the Rings' holds perhaps a deeper place in people's hearts than 'The Hobbit' the book does.

The worst kind of lying I've ever done is keeping things from people.

When I was in my 20s, I started frequenting record stores, and there was one in particular called Tropicalia in Furs in New York City. It's closed now, but it was one of those magical places where you would walk in, and the owner would start playing you records and not let you leave. It was such an education.

I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.

If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world, and you want to succeed. People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey.
