Quotes:
"This is the first time I've played a fifty-year-old! According to the book, Frodo is fifty when he sets out on his quest, although fifty is still relatively young in the lifespan of a hobbit. And this particular hobbit is fascinating."
"Frodo is different; he is slightly apart from the other hobbits. Like his uncle, he is very curious about the outside world. Frodo has read Bilbo's memoirs and heard the older hobbit telling stories of his adventures, and part of him likes the idea of having an adventure of his own."
"It is a deep relationship and difficult to describe. In one way it is a master/servant relationship, because Sam comes from a different class and wants to serve Frodo and be there for him because he's very, very loyal. But more than anything, they are best friends." On Sam and Frodo's relationship.
"Quite simply, it is love. It is that unconditional love that says, regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you." On Sam and Frodo's strong friendship.
