“I love surfing. I've been a surfer since I was a kid.”

“I'm a real homebody. I love being in my home and cooking and just being with my family.”

“I always thought that as a Scottish actor, I'd have to do some Shakespeare.”

“To be in 'The Lord of the Rings' was a dream come true. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

“The hobbits are a lot like the Scottish. They're very loyal, they're very funny, they're very musical, and they like a good pint.”

“In 'The Lord of the Rings,' we were just trying to make a good movie. That's all we were trying to do.”

“For a Scottish actor, I have to say I'm more of a salt-and-vinegar man.”

“It's a strange thing, becoming a movie star. You get to a certain point where you can't be anonymous anymore.”

“My life is nothing like a Hollywood movie. I'm a guy who is happily married and has a family.”

“I remember the day we finished 'The Lord of the Rings.' I was in my trailer, and I just cried. I couldn't stop crying.”

“I think the great thing about 'Lord of the Rings' is that it's a story about friendship.”

“I was never a 'Star Wars' fan.”

“You just make the best movie you can and hope for the best.”

“I love the fact that I can make people laugh. It's the best thing in the world.”

“I've been lucky enough to have a career that has been incredibly varied.”

“I think music is a massive part of being a human being. It's a way of expressing things that you can't express in words.”

“I don't believe in the modern idea of a star. It's a very strange profession that we're in.”
