    Quotes



    "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." And, he adds with a laugh, "They're a handful."

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

    "As soon as I got to New Zealand, I went bungee jumping. I was standing on the platform for one hour contemplating whether to jump or not".

    "I'm probably a good boyfriend, but I'm pretty intense. When you're with me it's exciting, fun and very intense. At the same time I'm easy going. But all that depends on what girl I'm with."

    "The girls have got a bit excited. I spoke to my agent and she says she's wading through the fan mail. We've got bags of it."

    "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?"

    "Viggo will go on about Elves and how they're always doing their nails and brushing their long, blonde hair, and being all prissy. And i just say: Well, at least I'm going to live forever! Got that? LIVE FOREVER!"

    "I can be a little bit outrageous. I can be a lot of things. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I love to go out there and do kind of crazy stuff which is slightly outrageous, like bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing and that sort of stuff. But I also like to just chill with my friends and go and see movies and do normal things."

    "I mean, I have a great job. I get to dress up and become somebody else, especially when it's someone like Legolas, who's this super-cool kind of otherworldly elf. It's, like, I'm lucky, man, so why would I not appreciate that?"
