enjoy enjoying happier leave life rather watching
My instruction to my parents is that I would rather they enjoy their retirement than leave me anything when they go. I am much happier watching them enjoying life.
close fascinated includes life lord tolkien war writes
I read everything that Tolkien wrote, and also read biographies of him. I was fascinated by his experiences in World War I, which includes the loss of life of some of his very, very close friends. I think he writes about that a lot in 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings.'
developer intense life mind terms
I'm a late developer in everything. I have a fast mind and fast metabolism, and I'm an intense worker, but in terms of life development, I'm way behind.
life reject
You can't reject anything in your life as an artist. Everything has its use.
improved peter
I think my fighting skills have certainly been improved by working with Peter Jackson.
biography created expressed knew looked tolkien until
I think that when Tolkien created Gollum and the ring, he even expressed in his biography that he never really knew what he created until he went back and looked at it.
best internal works
I think that internal conflict works very well, because, after all, all the best drama is fuelled by conflict.
musical
I went into musical theatre, which I'm not really cut out for - I'm not as skilled at it as other people.
dip episode good people turn
People like continuity, and the good old cliffhanger every week is something they enjoy. I enjoy it - I don't want to dip into just one episode when I turn on the TV.
guy played
Some of the mail I've had has been weird. When I played Guy of Gisborne, a woman crocheted a mini-version of me.
draw low mum public whisper
My mum will not speak above a low whisper in public because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself.
bit bone face itself lend looks structure suppose
I suppose I'm a bit mean. My face on camera doesn't lend itself to happy nice guys. I think it's just that my bone structure looks menacing.
estate
I was an estate agent for three years. That was pretty grim.
lose possible work york
It is possible to work out of New York on film and television and still not lose your connection to theater.
