[on filming LOTR:] "It was a tough shoot, you had to be there six days a week and it was absolutely exhausting. Peter Jackson has a really good bullshit monitor; if you`re just acting that you`re acting, he will know it, and he won`t allow it. But that`s great, because one of the main reasons that this film works is because, though it`s a fantasy movie, it`s so real. And although I`d do it all again tomorrow, by the end we were absolutely exhausted. I remember one time after doing a scene, an emotional scene, I was exhausted, having a headache and all, and coming in the next day, and Pete said, `Okay, get yourself back to where you were yesterday`, and I just thought that I could do anything but work myself up to that emotional peak again."
