Tolkien made dwarf sign language because, you know, it's too loud to talk in the mines.
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.'
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.

People get to know me slowly and over the course of time. I'll probably still be a newcomer when I'm 60.

I think my fighting skills have certainly been improved by working with Peter Jackson.
mom
When I told my mom I was going to audition for 'The Hobbit,' she said, 'Well, you've always loved Tolkien.' And she was right.
feels method
You know, to an extent, Method acting feels occasionally lazy.
I don't think actors need to go on pedestals. I don't buy it.
I wouldn't want a tattoo at all. They're difficult to cover up.
I wouldn't even dare to sing like Ed Sheeran.
