Lord of the Rings Cast and Crew |
| This is where I'll be posting quotes by the cast and crew of Lord of the Rings and also quotes from the movies. Originally, I had them on the celebrity and movies page, but that page was becoming swamped with just quotes by them, so I changed it. Enjoy! |
| Movies |
| "One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them. One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them." |
| "A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." ~ Gandalf |
| Scene:
Bilbo's Birthday Party...After just having lit a firework. Pippin: Done! Merry: You're supposed to stick it in the ground. Pippin: It is in the ground. Merry: Outside! Pippin : This was your idea! **BOOM** |
|
Hobbits [singing]:
to fill
my heart and drown my woe;
Rain my
fall and wind may blow,
But
they’ll still beeee….many miles to go!
Sweet is
the sound of the pouring rain,
And the
stream that falls from hill to plain;
Better
than rain or rippling brook,
(Pippin
only) Is a mug of beer inside this Took! |
| "Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years, they can still surprise you." ~ Gandalf |
|
"It's a dangerous business...
"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step out onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off too." ~ Bilbo |
|
Merry: I don't know why he's so upset.
It's only a couple of carrots.
Pippin: And some cabbages. And then those
three bags of potatoes we lifted last week, and, and the mushrooms the
week before!
Merry: Yes, Pippin, my point is, he's
clearly over reacting!
|
|
Sam:
Sam:
Trust a Brandybuck and a Took.
Merry:
What? It was just a detour. A shortcut.
Sam:
A shortcut to what?
Pippin:
Mushrooms!!
Merry:
Take that one... Pippin: That's mine... Mmmm... That's nice, Merry. Here's a nice one, Sam. |
| Pippin:
What's that? Merry: This, my friend, is a pint. Pippin: It comes in pints!? I'm getting one. Sam: You have a whole half already! |
| Aragorn: Are
you frightened? Frodo: Yes. Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough. |
| Aragorn:
Gentlemen! We do not stop til night fall. Pippin: What about breakfast? Aragorn: You've already had it. Pippin: We've had one yes. What about second breakfast? Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip. Pippin: What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner?? Supper!? He knows about them, doesn't he? Merry: I wouldn't count on it. |
|
Merry:
Merry:
My tomato's burst.
Pippin:
Could I have some bacon?
Merry:
Ok. Want tomatoes, Sam?
Frodo:
What are you doing?!
Merry:
Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon.
Sam:
We saved some for you, Mr Frodo.
Frodo: Pippin: Oh, that's nice! Ash on my tomatoes... |
| Merry: Hey! Pippin: We're coming too! Merry: You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us! Pippin: And anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing... Merry: Well that rules you out, Pip. Elrond: Nine companions. So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring! Pippin: Great! Where are we going? |
|
Gandalf: Well, let’s see... Ithildin. It mirrors only starlight and
moonlight. It reads: "The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak friend and
enter."
Merry:
What do you suppose that means? Gandalf: Oh, it's quite simple. If you are a friend, you speak the password, and the doors will open. Annon Edhellen edro hi ammen! Ando Eldarinwa a lasta quettanya, Fenda Casarinwa!
Merry:
Gandalf:
Pippin:
Gandalf: |
| Pippin: Are
we lost? Merry: No. Pippin: I think we are. Merry: Shh! Gandalf's thinking. Pippin: Merry? Merry: What? Pippin: I'm hungry. |
| "Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal in death and judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." ~ Gandalf |
| "Nobody tosses a dwarf!" ~ Gimli |
| "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." ~ Galadriel |
|
Legolas
Merry
Pippin |
| "For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all." ~ Galadriel |
|
Merry:
Merry:
Frodo!
Pippin:
Hide here, quick! Come on! What's he doing?
Merry:
He's leaving.
Pippin:
NO!
Merry:
Pippin. Run, Frodo. Go on! [yelling to the Uruk-Hai] Hey, hey you!
Over here!
Pippin:
Over here! Over here! This way! It's working! Merry: I know it's working! Run! |
| Frodo: I
wish none of this had happened. Voice of Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. |
|
Frodo: I'm going to Mordor alone. Sam: Of course you are. And I'm coming with you! |
| "I made a promise, Mr. Frodo, a promise. 'Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee.' And I don't mean to; I don't mean to." ~ Sam to Frodo |
|
Treebeard: Little orcs. Pippin: It's talking, Merry. The tree is talking. Treebeard: Tree? I am no tree! I am an Ent. Merry: Treeherder! Shepherd of the Forest! Pippin: Don't talk to it Merry! Don't encourage it!! |
| Aragorn: You
have some skill with a blade. Èowyn: Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords may still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain. Aragorn: What do you fear my lady? Èowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them. And all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire. Aragorn: You are a daughter of kings. A shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate. |
| Gollum: We
wants it, we needs it. Must have the Preciousss. They stole it from us.
Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, falssse! Sméagol: No! No! Master! Gollum: Yess. Preciousss first. They will cheat you, hurt you, lie! Sméagol: Master's my friend. Gollum: You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you. Sméagol: Not listening. Not listening. Gollum: You´re a liar, and a thief. Sméagol: No. Gollum: Murderer! Sméagol: Go away. Gollum: Go away?! Ahahhaa! Sméagol: I hate you, I hate you. Gollum: Where would you be without me? Gollum. Gollum. I saved us. It was me. We survived because of me. Sméagol: Not anymore. Gollum: What did you say? Sméagol: Master looks after us now. We don't need you. Gollum: What? Sméagol: Leave now and never come back. Gollum: No! Sméagol: Leave now and never come back! Gollum: Ahh! Sméagol: LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK! We told him to go away! And away he goes, preciousss. Gone, gone, gone, Sméagol is free! |
| Sam:
What we need it a few good taters. Sméagol: What's taters? Preciousss, what's taters? Huh? Sam: Po-ta-toes!! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Sméagol: Phooh! Sam: Even you couldn't say no to that. Sméagol: Oh yes we could. Ssspoiling nice fish! Give it to ussss raw. and wwwriggling. You keep nasty chips! Sam: You're hopeless. |
| Gimli: It's
true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice
and appearance, they are often mistaken for dwarf men. Aragorn [whispering]: It's the beards. Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women. And the dwarves just, spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous. [His horse suddenly speeds up causing him to fall off] Whoa! It's alright! It's alright. Nobody panic. That was deliberate. It was deliberate. |
| Frodo: We
are hobbits of the Shire. Frodo Baggins is my name and this is Samwise
Gamgee. Faramir: Your bodyguard? Sam: His gardener. |
| Gimli:
What's happening out there?! Legolas: Shall I describe it to you? ...Or would you like me to find you a box? |
| Treebeard: We
have just agreed. Merry: Yes? Treebeard: I have told your names to the ent moot and we have agreed: you are not Orcs. Pippin: Well that’s good news. |
| Gimli: Come
on. We can take them! Aragorn: It’s a long way. Gimli: Toss me. Aragorn: What? Gimli: I cannot jump the distance so you have to toss me. Ehh.. Don’t tell the elf. Aragorn: Not a word. |
|
Pippin: Wait! Stop! Stop! Turn around! Turn around!
Take us south. Treebeard: South?? But that will take you past Isengard. Pippin: Yes, exactly. If we go south we can slip past Saruman unnoticed. The closer we are to danger; the farther we are from harm. It's the last thing he'll expect. Treebeard: That doesn't make sense to me, but then you are very small. |
|
Sam: It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that
really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And
sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end
be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much
bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this
shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come; and when
the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories
that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small
to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I
know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back,
only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on
to something. Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam? Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo; and it's worth fighting for. |
| Sam: I wonder
if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo: What? Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, ‘let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.’ And they’ll say, ‘yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad?’ ‘Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying alot.’ Frodo: You left out one of the chief characters. Samwise the Brave. 'I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.’ |
| Pippin: I
feel like I'm back at the Green Dragon after a hard day's work. Merry: Only, you've never done a hard day's work. |
| Merry:
Welcome, my lords, to Isengard! Gimli: You, young rascals! A merry hunt you've lead us on, and now we find you feasting and...and smoking! Pippin: We are sitting on the field of victory, enjoying a few well-earned comforts. The salted pork is particularly good. Gimli: Salted pork? Gandalf: Hobbits... |
| "Now, listen carefully: Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death will be most unwise...And don't mention Frodo...And say nothing of Aragorn either...In fact, it's better if you do not speak at all, Peregrin Took." ~ Gandalf |
| Pippin: So I
imagine this is just a ceremonial position...I mean, they don't actually
expect me to do any fighting? Do they? Gandalf: You're in the service of the Steward now, you're going to have to do as you're told...Peregrin Took, Guard of the Citadel. |
| Pippin: It's
so quiet... Gandalf: It's the deep breath before the plunge. Pippin: I don't want to be in a battle...But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse! Is there any hope, Gandalf? For Frodo and Sam. Gandalf: There never was much hope...Just a fool's hope. |
| Pippin [singing]: Home is behind, the world ahead...And there are many paths to tread...Through shadow, to the edge of night. Until the stars are all alight...Mist and shadow, cloud and shade...All shall fade...All shall fade. |
| Èomer
[talking about Merry]: You should not encourage him. Èowyn: You should not doubt him. Èomer: I do not doubt his heart; only the reach of his arm. |
| Gimli:
Just where do you think you're up to? Aragorn: Not this time. This time you must stay, Gimli. Legolas: Have you learned nothing of the subbornness of dwarves? Gimli: Might as well accept it. We're going with you, laddie. |
| Théoden: I
have left instructions. The people are to follow your rule in my stead.Take
up my seat in the Golden Hall. Long may you defend Edoras if the battle goes
ill. Èowyn: What other duty would you have me do, my lord? Théoden: Duty? No...I would have you smile again. Not grief for those whose time has come. You shall live to see these days renewed. No more despair. |
| "Well this is something unheard of! An elf will go underground where a dwarf dare not! Ahh...I'll never hear the end of it!" ~ Gimli |
| Denethor:
Abandon your post!!! Flee! Flee for your life!!! [The soldiers look at each other, confused. As Denethor turns around, he receives a blow from Gandalf's staff and falls down, unconscious.] Gandalf: Prepare for battle! |
| "This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. If you do not find a way, no one will." ~ Galadriel |
| "Don't leave me here alone! Don't go where I can't follow..." ~ Sam |
| "Forth! Down fear of darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day...a red day...and the sun rises! Ride now...Ride now...Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!" ~ Théoden |
| Pippin: I
didn't think it would end this way... Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path...One that we all must take. [Pippin listens and watches Gandalf, as he continues. All sounds of the surrounding battle quiet down.] Gandalf: The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all change to silver glass...And then you see it. Pippin: What? Gandalf? ...See what? Gandalf: White shores...and beyond. The far green country under a swift sunrise. Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad. Gandalf: No...No it isn't. |
| "There's plenty for the both of us. May the best dwarf win!" ~ Gimli |
| "I am no man!" ~ Eowyn right before she stabs the Witch King |
| Gimli: That still only counts as one! [Said to Legolas who just killed a Mûmak which is similar to an elephant.] |
| King of the Dead:
Release us. Gimli: Bad idea! Very handy in a tight spot, these lads, despite the fact they're dead. |
| Pippin:
Merry! Merry, it's me! It's Pippin. Merry: I knew you'd find me... Pippin: Yes. Merry: Are you going to leave me? Pippin: No, Merry. I'm going to look after you. |
| Snaga [to
Frodo]: I'm gonna bleed you...like stuck pig! Sam: Not if I stick you first. |
| Èomer: We
can not achieve victory through strength of arms. Aragorn: Not for ourselves, but we can give Frodo a chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us! Keep Him blind to all else that moves. Legolas: A diversion. (My Note: Sorry I had to put this one in here...Legolas is a quick one, isn't he?) |
| "Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?" ~ Gimli |
| "Sons of Gondor, of
Rohan. My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take
the heart of me! A day may come, when the courage of men fails, when
we forsake our friends and break all bonds of Fellowship, but it is not this
day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes
crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that
you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, stand, men of the West!" ~ Aragorn |
| Gimli: Never
thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf. Legolas: What about side by side with a friend? Gimli: Aye, I could do that. |
| Sam: Do you
remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon and the orchards
will be in blossom, and the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket.
And the whistle in the summer barley in the Lower fields. And eating the
first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of
strawberries? Frodo: No, Sam...I can't recall the taste of food...nor the sound of water...or the touch of grass... I'm...I'm naked in the dark...there's nothing...nothing, no veil between me and the Wheel of Fire!! I can see Him with my waking eyes!! Sam: Then let us be rid of It! Once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo! I can't carry It for you, but I can carry you! Come on! |
| "For Frodo" ~ Aragorn [Said right before he charged towards Sauron's army] |
| "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things." ~ Frodo |
| "This day does not belong to one man...but to all. Let us together re-build this world...that we may share in the days of peace." ~ Aragorn |
| "My friends! You bow to no one!" ~ Aragorn [to the hobbits] |
| "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back. There are some things that time can not mend. Some hurts that go too deep...that have taken hold." ~ Frodo |
| "I will not say, do not weep; for not all tears are an evil." ~ Gandalf |
| "We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me." ~ Frodo |
| "My dear Sam...You can not always be torn in two...You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy...And to be, and to do...Your part in this story will go on." ~ Frodo |
| Cast and Crew |
| Radio DJ: Tell us about
the Oscars this year because we'd seen you on TV and you looked bored
shitless. *Laughter* Elijah Wood: I'll tell you what man it was nearly five hours seating in that chair...Five f***ing hours. |
| "It is so much better to watch it on television...so much better...I was falling asleep too...and that was terrible." ~ Elijah Wood talking more about his Oscars experience |
| "Wouldn't that be terrible? If I was just like every year that we come together 'Hey, Pete, how are ya? Let's make it seem like we're friends.'" ~ Elijah Wood discussing his relationship with director Peter Jackson |
| "Elf envy...they all had it." ~ Orlando Bloom |
| "Arr! Swash swash, buckle buckle." ~ Orlando Bloom |
| "I realized that it was just about Pippin and some other people!" -Billy Boyd (Pippin Took), After reading 'Lord of the Rings' for the first time. |
| "...In the absence of love, there is nothing worth fighting for." ~ Elijah Wood |
| "My initial reaction to being cast as Merry was one of silent wide smiling reflection for a couple of minutes, and then of a huge rush of adrenaline, and I have to confess a small amount of alcohol intake!" ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and have freezing cold glue applied to my feet. I won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long days sitting in my trailer waiting...waiting...waiting. I won't miss one day off a week. I won't miss glue in my ears. But I would do it all again tomorrow." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "I like to have a tidy kitchen but I am not too bothered about my room or living room etc. My theory is that when it's untidy I feel comfortable, like it feels lived in, and its only gonna get untidy if you tidy it so wait, wait, wait." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "If my house caught fire I would save myself and anyone in there and I would try and save all the dairies and letters that I have collected as everything else is replaceable. And I would sit on the lawn watching my house burn cherry red and record it in my diary!" ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "Racism, sexism, homophobia, ignorance. I am irritated by all these things alot. Also, having no beer in the fridge and losing a girls number that you really liked." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "F*** Empire! You had to give Best Debut to Mr. Cheekbones, didn't ya?!" ~ Billy Boyd about losing the Empire Award to Orlando Bloom |
| "...We used to have a thing on set, that whenever Elijah - you know he wears (the Ring) around his neck? - whenever it would come out of his costume, between shots and that, myself and Dom would sneak up on him and try to get it off him...That was good fun." ~ Billy Boyd |
| "That's the thing about Elijah. He's got the biggest eyes you've ever seen, but they don't work." ~ Billy Boyd |
| "I just think of myself as a friend. A good friend. A good friend who might camp in your garden!" Billy Boyd in response to Sean Astin's comment about Billy being a stalker |
| "Two guys from Britain who end up in the Florida Keys and run a diving school by mistake. They lie their way through. As Dom says, it's funnier than a penguin playing a banjo." ~ Billy Boyd talking about his script with Dominic Monaghan |
| "I loved The Goonies, and The Ice Storm for Elijah. One time coming back to New Zealand from England, I was in a hotel and jet-lagged and forgot I'd asked Sean to get me a copy of Rudy because I never saw it. And I was in tears at 4 in the morning! I called him Rudy for months after that." ~ Billy Boyd |
| "Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It's all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing." ~ Billy Boyd |
| "Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read the book I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that's not a Pippin thing to do, I don't know what is." ~ Billy Boyd |
| "Many different ways. To put it simply... great characters, great people, great scripts, great catering..." ~ Billy Boyd on how he chooses a script |
| "Everyone had a nickname [on the LOTR set] and I didn't and I always used to joke with the boys saying 'I want one, I want one!!' Orli has a idiosyncratic way of talking and from about half way into the movie he called me sblomie... pronounced... Sblom-e as in Domie but take away the do and add sblo..clear?" ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "They're boxer shorts. Make sure you get that right. I don't want anyone thinking I wear anything else." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "Went home and tried to make a cake, but the oven broke so I ate raw cake mix, watched TV, felt sick, and went to Billy's." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "It's not just my tongue that's bad. My spleen once stole 100 dollars from a 7/11." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "So we would play. The three of us [Dom, Sean and Billy] were constantly getting it right. Every time. Elijah tried a new way of tigging someone, we'd say "No Elijah, you can't tig on a tog" "You can't tag on a tig" "You have to do an elephant impression if you're gonna tig Billy and if Billy's going to tig you back you have to get on your knees and take your trousers down... and for like three weeks he [Elijah] was saying how much he enjoyed playing Tig." ~ Dominic Monaghan talking about playing Tig, a fake game they made up to fool Elijah Wood |
| "...I'm Orlando Bloom, but I've had a bit of a facial readjustment." ~ Dominic Monaghan introducing himself |

| "They did have to mess around with your eyes a little bit though, cause you are quite cross-eyed in real life aren't you?" ~ Dominic Monaghan talking about whether Elijah's eyes were digitally enhanced in the LOTR (from DVD cast commentary) |
| "We [Dom and Billy] spend so much time together. We enjoy each other's company. We're constantly walking up and down the red carpet with an arm around each other and chatting and all that kind of stuff. So the rumours are rife! There was a rumour about Elijah and me that Ian McKellen told us about - we were having an affair in LA! But you know I'm not going to confirm or deny [laughs]. [Billy and I] do fit like a jigsaw. Still now, three or four years down the line, we'll manage to make each other crack up in tears of laughter... and fascinate each other, which is the perfect relationship. Maybe we will get married in a couple of years! If he was a girl, I'd marry him today! I've been suggesting to Billy a sex change, but he really feels quite manly about things [Billy shouts, "I love women!"]. Yes, he's really passionate about women, as I am." ~ Dominic Monaghan talking about those "gay" rumors |
| "You should definitely put that in the article that I'm single, and I like women!" ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "I had so many embarrassing moments while filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy. One of the worst is from the third movie. I was sitting in Rivendell, an elf paradise, and an 80-pound wooden prop fell and landed on my head. The crew raced over and picked the thing off my head, and I came to. A lump started growing, and the wig that was glued to my head lifted up and started pulling off. I got a CAT scan and luckily, I had no brain damage. The neurologist said I had a very large brain, though. I'm proud about that." ~ Sean Astin |
| "And there was also a point where Elijah [Wood] and I, and Billy [Boyd] and Sean had been dropped off at lower altitude, and we were there for about half an hour waiting for a helicopter to pick us up, and we were throwing stones at trees, and running around, and having fun... Sean was about a hundred yards away from us and he was directing helicopters in to land." ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "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." ~ Orlando Bloom |
| "We have these digs at each other. Viggo will go on about Elves and how they're always doing their nails and brushing their long, blonde hair, and being all prissy. And I just say: Well, at least I'm going to live forever! Got that? LIVE FOREVER!" ~ Orlando Bloom |
| "I'd never heard of The Lord of the Rings, actually. So I went to the bookstore and there it was, three shelves of books about Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I was like, 'Holy cow, what else am I missing out on?'" ~ Sean Astin |
| "If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously!" ~ Cate Blanchett |
| "I had never done anything with blue screen before, or prosthetics, or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But, to be honest, I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I thought they would really work with my bare head." ~ Cate Blanchett |
| "These things are like boats with toes." ~ Ian Holm, talking about his hobbit feet |
| "While shooting in Mexico, all conversation was dominated by bowels. During filming, if you'll pardon the expression, you're frightened to fart." ~ Ian Holm |
| "The Lord of the Rings is a mythology, it is a fairy tale, it's an adventure story. It never happened. Except somewhere in our hearts." ~ Ian McKellen |
| "I'd love to play a gangster but I think people might say I looked a bit too young and cheeky to play a character who'd just blown someones head off!" ~ Dominic Monaghan |
| "For Merry, losing Pippin is like losing his strength, the other side of his personality." ~ Dominic Monaghan, On Merry and Pippin's strong friendship |
| "One of my abiding memories is being halfway up a mountain and watching two men carrying a basket with my clothes up to me, and another two carrying my armour and axe, then a woman carrying my helmut up, and finally another with my big, heavy boots to give that dwarfish trouser-look. Then they put it all on me and the director said 'now run up that hill'." ~ John Rhys-Davies, on shooting Fellowship of The Ring |
| "I like cooking, but I like other people cooking more." ~ David Wenham |
| "My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos." ~ David Wenham |
| "If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a secret agent." ~ Elijah Wood |
| "I think being different, being against the grain of society, is the greatest thing in the world." ~ Elijah Wood |
