Quotes
""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!" (Eonline)
"It was designed by Alan Lee, who illustrated all of the Lord of the Rings books. It's in Elvish script, and it's the word for nine. We all chose to put them in different places. I got mine on my forearm, because I'm an archer."
"It was quite amusing to see the cast on a night off in Wellington. The Hobbits would be picking their feet, and the Elves would be picking their ears."
"I had to train pretty extensively to get fluidity and the kind of grace and ease of movement that distinguishes an Elf. Training with the bow and arrow was a great way to find my character. I got pretty good. At the end, my archery instructor would throw a paper plate into the air, and I could nail it with an arrow."
