I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean the material, directors, the other cast, and if you think you can do something with the character then you do it and go from there. I am looking forward to doing some smaller movies.

I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.

Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.

When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.
