I didn't get my licence because I wasn't allowed to. But I haven't had a seizure for a long time so I could, theoretically, get my licence. But I'm now just so used to not driving, I'm scared of what I'd do.

To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.
Hugo Weaving
Image
There's nothing like being on a massive-budget film where you don't know anything, and there's a million people, and no one's communicating.

I certainly don't advocate terrorism as a way of progressing and understanding people, nor do I believe labeling everything as a terrorist act is helpful either.

Image
When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

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