| Craig Parker quotes |
| Craig on his fans: "Where were you when I was 13?!" "I started when I was much younger in a soap opera at home. And that was good training. It's always very flattering but you still go home and hang out with your family and people who know you and they tell you to shut up and stop being a dick." Craig on Haldir: "Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Well, it was 3 AM in the morning!" (Craig had to be in make-up at 3 AM) Craig on Elves: "Elves are great fighters, and they're very graceful. They die when they go to war. This wasn't just Hollywood going 'We'll have a babe there ... and we'll have a car chase.' It was done differently from the book for a good reason." "Elves fight cool." "You need to be a natural blond and those wigs, even those at $15 000 a throw like his, only end up making you look like one of those drag queens you see at about 3 AM in Frankfurt." Craig on Dwarves: "For nasty, smelly, ugly people who live in caves I think they're great." Craig on Haldir's death scene: "Hello. I'm Craig Parker. I play Haldir and I'm ..." - makes exaggerated cutting motion to his throat with hand - "... in the next movie." "Did you have to mention that? I was only just getting over it!" "It's one of those things that you don't want to happen. But for an actor death scenes are good." "MY SIGNATURE DISH: I don't cook much but I can open a mean bottle. It takes just a minute in the kitchen and I can whip up a glass of chardonnay or two, and after that no one seems to care about dinner." Craig on the cast: "I was terrified. It was their first day and they were as nervous as I was so suddenly it felt like making a little family film." Craig on filming LOTR: "I moved to the forest for six months and ate lembas - but it's so hard to find the right flour." "Peter Jackson has enough material to blackmail the whole cast." 'Can elves swim?'-"Like a fish. But they don't like it because afterwards they have to spend hours blow-drying their hair and plaiting it." |
