ELIJAH the ringbearer ((EW and LOTR fansite))

Quotes --

"I won't change and my perspective won't change. I want to continue my life the way I live it, and I'm not going to let anything stop me from doing that. It isn't all about acting. There's a lot more to life than Hollywood."

"If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a secret agent."

"I think being different, being against the grain of society, is the greatest thing in the world."

[Interviewer] The scene where you're caught up in the spider web...did you ever just want to lose your mind? I mean, where you ever claustrophobic when you're sort of in that...
[Elijah] In that cocoon?
[Interviewer] Cocoon, yeah...I mean...
[Elijah] Ahhh, no...that was cool. I kinda dug that. They wrapped me up with this web material that they'd made...it was kind of this sticky plastic that they'd created...it was really incredible. All of the major web pieces were made with it, and I thought it was a lot of fun for some reason...I don't know...I'm kind of crazy that way...
--from an Interview during the Japan premiere 1/2004 --

Elijah: I think what is sort of the beginning of the end was that we all went back to New Zealand for reshoots on the last film [in June]. That was the last time that we'll ever film anything for these movies. So that was the beginning of the end of our journey.
Billy: It didn't really feel like the beginning of the end to me. It felt like the middle of the end of the beginning.
Dominic: Yeah. You know, kind of like the three-quarter-length part of the middle of the end of the beginning.
Interviewer: ...Okay.
Dominic: If that, you know, if that clarifies it.

Dominic on Elijah's "pressure gas" (from FOTR DVD cast commentary): "First day of filming. Yeah, Elijah let out a little tommy squeaker."

--- what the other hobbits say about 'Lij ---

"He cries a lot," Astin confides, speaking of Wood's experience spending 15 months shooting the LOTR in New Zealand.
"He was always crying," Astin continues as Boyd shakes his head, looking grim.
"We were always consoling him."
"He missed his mom. He missed L.A.," agrees Monaghan. "He had a blanket that he forgot." Astin adds, "He would say, 'I don't think I can make it, you know, I..."
"'...need you guys, I need you,'" Monaghan completes the sentence with a frown.
"'Nobody understands me,'" Astin continues. "Sad, really. Pitiful."
"Am I straight? Am I gay? Why am I confused?" Monaghan says, imitating his fellow hobbit.
"Why won't Dom touch me anymore?" Astin says.
"Why do I feel this way?" Monaghan echoes.
"Why won't he look at me that way?" Astin wines. "For the first three months, it was constant attention -- and now what?"
"Do you know if Billy's single?" Monaghan recalls Wood saying.
