Personality | He's a really cool guy, he's a really lovely man and he's just - he's really enjoyed playing Legolas and he's going onto to play in Pirates of the Caribbean. But he's a lovely guy, I really enjoyed spending time with him. |
| Billy | Awards | "Fuck Empire!" he joked "You had to give Best Debut to Mr Cheeky bones didn't ya? |
| Orlando | Acting | Basically, I came into acting for the women. |
| Orlando | Gimli | One night, me and Gimli stayed up all night. We'd been working till about 11pm, and we wanted to get the red dawn in the morning. So we stayed up. We brought our trailers around in a circle, like covered wagons, and lit a campfire in the middle, where we cooked sausages. And we stayed up the whole next day. |
| Orlando | Money | I don't care much about the money at all. Frankly, if I get the chance to kiss someone in a movie, they wouldn't need to pay me at all. |
| Orlando | Movement | Legolas' moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat. You know how cats can jump and land steadily on their paws? That`s what I`m trying to do. There`s a strength in that, but it`s very balletic. It`s also bloody hard to do without falling over! |

Elves | The elves in Tolkien are red-blooded beings that have spirit and life and courage and compassion. They are truly magical and as far from the fairies and pixies you might imagine as they can get. |

Legolas | Elves have angelic spirits, deepest sorrow, greatest joy. I'm the eyes and ears of the fellowship and switched on all the time because elves don't sleep. |
| Orlando | Legolas | I will take Legolas, and this experience in New Zealand, wherever I go. The beautiful thing about being an actor is every character you embrace, when you move on, you take part of the character with you. |

Tolkien | At 14, I read it all the way through. No, I read The Hobbit all the way through. I read half and got interested in sport and girls. But I picked it up again and read it for the film. |
