More quotes by Elijah Wood
Our bad memories and our bad experiences are what make us who we are and what make us grow and allow us to learn, if we choose to see the lessons in those experiences.
Elijah Wood
I definitely felt the pressure I wanted to live up to all of the expectations.
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
If you cut off your arm instead of going 'spurt, spurt, spurt' wouldn't it, like, go nuts? Or would it go with the beat of your heart?
Elijah Wood
So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.
Elijah Wood
The other main difference between film and television is that you have the opportunity to flush out a character, over a longer period of time. Whereas with a film, you're confined to two or three hours, or whatever it may be.
Elijah Wood
I actually got a crush on Anne Heche when I worked with her on Huckleberry Finn. It didn't work out.

[Sundance] still feels significant. I don't think you can help but come here and not feel that sense of history and its significance in influencing film. And I think it still does. Some of that is based on history, but it's also based on really incredible programmers who are showcasing such an incredible variety of cinema.

Geeks are generally the most interesting people.
Elijah Wood
[Macon Blair] wrote a beautiful - once it was kicking off and we were gonna make the movie - he sent me this really beautiful document on Tony [from I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore ]. It was like ruminations. Maybe this ... I don't know ... And I loved it.
Elijah Wood
There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected.
Elijah Wood
[Sundance is] giving people a chance - many first-time filmmakers. It carries that weight - if you bring something here, people connect with it and it can launch a career.
Elijah Wood
The prospect of being able to work on a Kaufman film with him directing was just too good to be true.
Elijah Wood
The war is definitely in the background, only referred to in radio news blips and conversation. I think, ultimately, this film is about the choices these guys are faced with. In that way, I think this is a more personal story about their friendship, about the reaction that they have when they're essentially faced with death, to a certain degree.
Elijah Wood
I credit my mom Debbie for creating a solid family base, ... She gave me a strong sense of reality so I could avoid falling into the normal pitfalls of child actors.
Elijah Wood
I initially thought it was going to feel weird to be [on Sundance] while [the marches against now-President Donald Trump] was happening. And feel disconnected in that way that feels irresponsible. But the other side of it is that there are people here who believe the right things that are trying to make a difference with art.
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.
Elijah Wood
My God! Middle Earth does exist!
Elijah Wood
I suppose I've been working for a long time, so I've seen all kinds of filmmaking. I can fit into anything, and it doesn't feel that weird or that fascinating.
Elijah Wood
I think new experiences are extremely important. I think it's really important to constantly challenge yourself. Comfort is not a good thing. It's good to take yourself out of your comfort zone and to look for new challenges.
Elijah Wood
