| Quotes |
| John on Gimli and filming LOTR: |
| "There is an energetic fercocity in Gimli that the film needs. It's often these minor characters who really have to impart a sense of energy and dynamsim to a film so that the heroes can actually take their time to respond and be thoughtful and reflective" "Speaking on behalf of the dwarves, there are those that see our attempts to earn an honest living, by delving into the earth, and transforming it into beautiful things. There are those that are jealous of our culture and would doubtless say that that means we're materialistic and greedy. Well so we are materialistic! It's a proper way for a dwarf to be!" "Well, you always pick a six foot one guy to play a dwarf because you want a big dwarf" |
