art thinking listening
I think all art is subjective - that whoever's watching it or listening to it will decide whether it's good or bad.
mean people funeral
People are scared to make something that doesn't look like another film that made a lot of money. It means we get 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' made again and again.
thinking hair looks
I think the ears are a strange look for me. Quite big. But I loved the hair down to my shoulders. It felt right. I'm thinking of letting my hair go.
goodbye song army
A lot of ideas took us to dead ends or we found the tone wasn’t just right. I think we discovered very quickly this wasn’t just a song to end The Battle of the Five Armies—it was a song to say goodbye to Middle-earth.
thinking acting might
Acting, music, painting... it's very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.
apples cameras throwing
He [Viggo Mortensen] was standing behind the camera throwing the apples … And I’ve never seen him so happy.

After I've been in America for a while, I get homesick for Scotland.
party guitar facts
In fact, Russell Crowe once phoned me up to see if I wanted to go to a party but I had to bring my guitar and perform Oh Jean.
armageddon excited coming-back
I'm so pleased that I'm coming back to Armageddon, just to meet everyone. I'm very excited about doing it, I've heard great things about Armageddon and I'm just really excited to get there.
beach thinking venice
I loved going surfing down on Venice Beach. Id go out with a board under my arm and think, I cant do that in Cranhill.
lying leaving noon
Life in LA is not lying in the sun for months. It is having a 4pm meeting and leaving at noon to sit in traffic for four hours. Its not glam.
writing winning thinking
I'd like to win a Booker Prize for writing. A Nobel Peace Prize for my work in peace... and I think that'll probably do.
jobs character thinking
To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings..., In fact, I'm trying to think - what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do.
weekend hair people
The club thing is a world people can associate with, letting your hair down at the weekend.
