Okay here's the second part.
answer continued from previous question....
LT: As an adult, I can see more what I'm looking for and what I'm interested in. But it's just my nature as a person to not be that interested in the celebrity perks. I mean, yes, I like to go to nice restaurants and go shopping and stuff. But for me, I feel better when I'm with my friends and with my loved ones at home. When I'm working, I'm working, and all I want to do at the end of the day is go home. And maybe that was the difference between me and the boys on the film. They all lived there for a year and a half and they didn't come home for Christmas and they loved it. For me, although I was committed and it was a very special project, I was working and then I wanted to go home.
P: How do you feel about the themes of good and evil in the film in relation to what is happening in the world at the moment?
LT: It's a timely piece. I mean, it's about all the different creatures and the races of the world coming together in love and friendship to fight so-called evil, so it is quite relevant. It's an uncertain time in the book, with so many things changing. The elves are going to disappear from the face of Middle-earth completely and the hobbits don't know what's happening to them. The idea of love conquering all and strength, all those ideas that are in the book, are definitely things we need to be thinking about right now.
P: How do you think the reactiong to the film from cult fans of the books will affect you and the other cast members when it comes out?
LT: I don't know what's going to happen. When I walk down the street now, most people recognise me and I just keep going. But I live in New York and it's kind of normal in my neighbourhood. When a movie comes out, it tends to get a little worse. I'm not going to know until it comes out. I'm in a weird bubble, you know, because I'm me. I live a very normal life and I do all the same things that everybody else does, yet I get a package once a week with an Arwen doll in it that I have to approve, and it's weird. I love to hear things but I don't really hear about stuff a lot. I don't really look at the websites. I mean, I've tried to look at the website a coupld of times but I couldn't figure it out. I have no idea what's going to happen until it happens. I'm excited.
P: Did you request any changes to your Arwen doll?
LT: Yeah. You have to make a lot of changes to the doll. It's a hard thing to do.
P: What did you ask for? Longer legs? Shinier hair?
LT: No. It's more about getting the facial structures right. Elijah and I were the hardest characters to do, I think, because we're very young and have flat skin and we don't have wrinkles yet. When you have more character to your face, it's easier to incorporate that stuff. It's hard because it can't ever look exactly like you but it can, kind of. It's really weird. I got one the other day and it was the first Barbie-sized one and the first thing I did was take all it's clothes off, like you do when you're a kid.
P: Are you anatomically correct?
LT: The boobs were pretty good. They were bigger than mine. But then I couldn't get the clothes back on. That was my one change. The hand was too big and I couldn't get the dress back on. So I had to send the Arwen doll back in the box naked to New Line. I called to say, "Look I'm really sorry. I'm not weird but I couldn't get the dress back on."
