'I'm Ian McKellen and I fancy Ewan McGregor as well.'
Ian McKellen at the Empire Awards
"Legolas` 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!" - Orlando Bloom
'When you meet Peter Jackson all you see is a beard and a mass of black hair and some large spectacles. Eventually you see the eyes and that's about it.'
- Christopher Lee on Jackson
