I love romantic comedies. I love romantic movies. I'm kind of a sucker for them, and, sort of end up crying at the end of them all, like a child.
I'll play a character who is getting married to a woman to avoid the draft. Ultimately they fall in love with each other, but at first it's only out of practicality.
Quite simply it is love. It is the unconditional love that says, regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you.
I never wanted to be in a band because I love music too much to mess it up.
I'm scared to death of doing it, because I love him (Iggy Pop) so much and I respect the music so much. I don't want to be the person responsible for screwing that up.
He's kind of this empty vessel of a character, ... His awkward sensibilities, his neuroses, I loved those things. . . .
I loved the story, the comedy and how emotional it becomes. It was also an opportunity to do something different to what I had done before.
The story ends up being a journey of self-discovery.
At the base, it's about a man from America who doesn't quite fit in, with the comedy that entails. Everyone can relate to that, when things are lost in translation,
You know, it's been a long time since that dance,
Those eyes!' ... I've heard that my whole life. I'm actually quite blind. I wear contacts.
Getting away from Frodo comes up a lot,
But everybody there knew 'Lord of the Rings,' ... It's really amazing.
LOTR' was a landmark experience in my career, ... And it's where I helped to define myself as a human being and as an adult. I went to New Zealand by myself and had my own house and my own car.
