I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

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.

Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.

It's great to blow the image that people have of me out of the water.

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

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.

Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.
Hugo Weaving

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

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

Image
I'm so used to Australian films not getting a release outside Australia.
Hugo Weaving

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

As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.

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.

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 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.

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.
