Quotes

Here are some quotes that I have collected from other dedicated fans sites! so read these things that actually came from Orlando's own mouth!:)

Elves are cool, man. 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? 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? I was 22, I had two more days left of drama school and it was, like, 'Here, have a career.' Boom. There you go. Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, "That's for me." I got into acting for the women. Legolas's moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat. You know how cats can jump and land steadily on their paws? That's what I'm trying to do. There's a strength in that, but it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do without falling over! Vig used to call me "elf boy," and I'd call him "filthy human." As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, "Oh, go manicure your nails."
