Quotes
"Pippin [is] a character whose naivety and inquisitive nature almost add up to bravery." (Sunday Times)
To play one of the main characters in it, it's not the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings..., In fact, what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do."
"Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It's all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing."
"I realised that it was just about Pippin and some other people!" After reading 'Lord of the Rings' for the first time.
On being asked if he could relate to his character, Pippin: "Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read the book I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that's not a Pippin thing to do, I don't know what is."
