Elijah Wood
A solid base for any comedy is just honesty and truth, and it coming from a real place. As surreal as this show gets and is, ultimately, we're dealing with a character that most can't see the way that I can see it.
Elijah Wood
The guy is a stud with women just following him around wherever he goes. But he is the last one who'll ask anyone to do anything for him. He'd rather just go do it himself.
Elijah Wood
I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world.
Elijah Wood
You've got major artists releasing albums on their own and eschewing the major system. I think that breeds excitement and creativity.
Elijah Wood
So, as much as it is about this continuing war, the reinstated draft, and their individual views, it's really sort of a deeply human tale, and a character study as well.
Elijah Wood
We all deal with a certain amount of stress, on a day-to-day basis. I probably smoke too many cigarettes, which isn't a very good thing. I don't have any extraordinary coping mechanism. I certainly don't talk to a dog.
