It could be a stupid thing to say, but people should realize that it is easy to get concerned about yourself and to lose contact.

The guys on the stunt team are really fantastic. It's really funny, because for all the aggression they have to display on screen, they're actually really happy, good- natured people.

Every director is completely different.

Around the time of 'The Lord of the Rings,' it was a shock to me just how big it is to be on that kind of media juggernaut. It was a big thing and the scrutiny was shocking.

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.

I myself often feel that I have a tail in my pants. And I can see that many people do it as well, I am sure some of them simply wrap it around themselves.

Exercise is your king, and nutrition is your queen. Together they create your fitness kingdom.

The world sucks, people are not true

I can't keep from fooling around with our irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two and three dimensionalities, flat and spatial, and to make fun of gravity.
