I've never been a great one for technology.

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

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, 'You make your own luck.'

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.

I had the training at drama school where I studied Shakespeare and Brecht and Chekov and all these period historical playwrights and I think that I responded to the material.

Although it is a fantasy film, it's as real as it can be. You have to imagine that an audience will buy their ticket to a cinema and get on a first-class flight and journey to Middle Earth.

People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.

I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?

We have to make good use of the time we have. That simple. We have to wake up every day, knowing that it's not just an ordinary day. We have to take the moment, seize each day.

Dyslexia is not due to a lack of intelligence, it's a lack of access. It's like, if you're dyslexic, you have all the information you need, but find it harder to process.

Hate the evil.

By forgetting the Supreme Lord, all the ailments cling to the man.

The pure heart is one that is entirely cut away from self. To be selfless is to be pure.

It is all a matter of time scale. An event that would be unthinkable in a hundred years may be inevitable in a hundred million.

When people are rude to other people. When people belittle other people. Bullies really bother me a lot. A lot, a lot.

Strong relationships are not rocked by a truth that is grounded by resolute monogamy.

As long as you remember what you love and why you love it, it will never be far from your heart - or your plate.

Love is timeless.... Death does not separate the lover from the beloved.

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.

Then you're a bigger fool than I thought. Since when has any man ever been worthy of the woman he loved? It's only by God's grace that they love us in spite of ourselves.
