More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I just can't imagine that people would stand for it. People are wanting to potentially elect someone who will get our troops out, so at this stage, if the draft was reinstated, I just think that people would have none of it.
Elijah Wood
On a superficial level, I like girls with dark hair - I'm a sucker for that.
Elijah Wood
When I work, I disappear into work, which I like to do, and sometimes I don't really have a choice. It's not a conscious thing. It's just total devotion to what I'm doing.
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
Sometimes my interest in working on a film is not always dictated specifically by the character. Sometimes it's simply about wanting to be a part of a vision that I love, or a script that I love. I find exciting and gratifying.
Elijah Wood
[Sundance] still feels like an incredible place for championing emerging voices and art.
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.
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
I'm not a star!!! A star is nothing but a ball of gas!!!
Elijah Wood
It was kind of unique and great to have two films coming out within a week. It certainly was a different experience for me.
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
The worst kind of lying I've ever done is keeping things from people.
Elijah Wood
[I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore ] really jumped off the page. And there were so many specific notes within the context of the script. Music cues, for instance.
Elijah Wood
[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.
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
