• "...I'm so grateful for not having been a part of anything that was immediately really famous.  I'm really fortunate to have had a sort of gradual rise.  It's allowed me to maintain a position as opposed to a kind of going all over the place..."
• "...I realized I had to embody a character that so many people are farmiliar with.  It's a massive amount of pressure...
• "...I kind of kept away from a lot of the sort of bull s--- of the (entertainment) industry
• "...Elijah Wood 'the movie-I hate this word-star' is a completely different person.  At home I put it all away..."
• "...I simply want to carry on doing what I am doing for as long as I can, and I don't want to take advantage of a specific moment and burn out really quickly.  Believe me, the world does not revolve around the movies.  Mine certainly doesn't..."
• "...It would make no difference in the UK or anywhere else in the world.  It will just give me more access to things I want to experience.  So I am looking forward to it.  Not in the sense that I will suddenly be going drinking like crazy.  It won't be like there's going to be some sudden change and I hock the Ring to feed my drug habit.  It's because I can finally be free.  As for the Hollywood bad boy that I have secretly inside me somewhere..."
• "...I'm not on drugs.  I'm not an alcoholic.  I've just got incredible people backing me up...I wouldn't even think about taking drugs.  I think it's ridiculous!  I think people are throwing their lives away.  River Phoenix was such a talented actor.  I would have loved to see him win an Oscar.  He so deserved it.  Obviously he got mixed in with the wrong crowd.  That ruined him.  I love life.  I've always been this way..."
• "...If I'm with friends, I want to talk about sports or games or a new CD that's coming out.  When we talk about me, it's about me as a person, not as an actor..."
• "...acting classes can make them more self-conscious.  I prefer to rely on what I have inside of me...
