I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.

Being in the woods at night is a beautiful thing.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.

If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I'm really very keen to work on it.

Having agreed to play Elrond, I realized how much had to be worked out about this character: the idea of portraying someone who is immortal, for one thing plus the fact he is noble, wise, powerful, good - and beautiful! I began to think that he was altogether impossible to play!

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.
Hugo Weaving
Image
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.
Hugo Weaving
Image
In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
Hugo Weaving
Image
I think I'm much less self confident today. I actually went through a quite painful period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.

I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears.

I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.

Across the board, Australian films need to have a lot more money spent on selling them.

Film has a tendency to be limiting in some way and it shouldn't be. It's a form that can be explored and changed.
