I meet hundreds of people, and I’m not going to remember them. But every single one of them will remember their interaction with me.
I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they’re all really cool.
I’m very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it’s so boring.

Religion leaves no room for human complexity.
Yes, gay marriage is about symbolically blessing a relationship, but the larger issue is about transmitting a fundamental message about equality. Gay people should have equality in law everywhere.
I just want to keep working, really. I just want to keep acting. Playing one part for a very long time builds up in you a desire to play as many different things as you can.
