'One Ring to
rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness
bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.'
JRR
Tolkien
Orlando Bloom
Who
doesn't like The Elf? I haven't found anyone yet. Young girls
swoon over him, older women think he's cute. I have no idea how
the casting director knew that Orlando would change into Legolas
so perfectly. I think out of all the cast members Orlando changed
the most. From a dark haired Englishman emerged a blonde willowy
Elf. Amazing. Well I guess Gimli changed quite a bit too!

"It's
only been in the last year that I have realised what
I need to do, to keep my calm through the simple things.
When you are working with extremes, you do need to
come back to being you. I want to walk by the sea
and gather my thoughts so I am fit for my life. So
I enjoy taking some time on my own. I write a little
bit in my journal, I like to swim, just to get outside
and be in the sun."

"Last
time I was back in London, I was still taking the
Tube and the bus and riding my bike. I don't see
why it should be any different."
|
|
"I've
broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs,
my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and I've cracked
my skull three times. Youthful carelessness. This
is a battered body all right. But, each time, it
made me stronger and more determined to do things.
I've learned to wake up each morning and smell the
roses and enjoy every day as it comes, I never,
ever grumble. Life's far too sweet to waste a single
day."

"It's
very a difficult language to get your mouth around."
"We
have these digs at each other, 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!"'

"When
you're a bit famous, people get an idea of what
you're like in their heads, usually based around
the roles that you've played. Then when they meet
you they're usually either intimidated and scared
by what they think you are or terribly let down
by the real you."
|
"The
process of making a movie is what I love, I thrive on that.
It's an exciting miracle. It's a mad adventure. I love being
part of it."
|
"I
studied the Japanese samurai warriors, because their style
of movement is so precise and thought-out, I also bought
a book on trees. They're like these ageless beings. I really
got into them. Legolas [who's 2,931 years old] lives in
the trees."
|
"It
was like winning the lottery. I mean, imagine being flown
to this amazing country and being taught how to shoot a
bow and arrow, learn to ride horses and study swordplay
- it was sick!
