More quotes by Elijah Wood
I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world.
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
[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
The worst kind of lying I've ever done is keeping things from people.
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
I actually got a crush on Anne Heche when I worked with her on Huckleberry Finn. It didn't work out.
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
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
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
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
I definitely felt the pressure I wanted to live up to all of the expectations.
Elijah Wood
I've always had a sense of groundedness as a person. I think that's helped me. My mother sort of beat into me the notion of humility, and I think my focus has always been on the right things or the things that I'm passionate about, which is just simply the work.
Elijah Wood
It's always nice when you get a chance to actually work with the other actor. It just brings the scene to life, in a way that's not as easy to replicate on your own.
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
[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
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
Dream the impossible because dreams do come true.
Elijah Wood
My God! Middle Earth does exist!
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
