Acting | Peter (Jackson, the director) was always after the truth of the scenes. So that concern melted away. And the world is so completely realized that you can just lose yourself easily. I had to ride on this extraordinary swan boat, and I felt like the lady of the lake. |

Ears | "It sounds ridiculous," she has said, "but one of the reasons I wanted to play Galadriel was the ears. I've always wanted pointy ears." She keeps a bronzed pair on her mantelpiece. |
| Cate | Galadriel | I loved playing Galadriel because she is so iconic. She is the one in The Fellowship of the Ring who truly tests Frodo. I also think she has a profound message to give about taking responsibility for ourselves and our actions. And, yes, I have to admit I have always wanted to have pointy ears! |

Tolkien | I read The Hobbit as a child and listened to the others on tape. I loved them, but what I was amazed by most was the vastness of them. |
| Elijah | Cate | Cate Blanchett was particularly incredible just because I only had a few scenes with her and one in particular was quite long and I was so nervous to be working with her because I’m such a huge fan, but I think it went okay. |
