In the absence of love, there is nothing worth fighting for.

As an actor, it's a relatively passive job unless you're generating your own content or writing your own content. So to a certain degree you're at the mercy of what is available, what you're reading, what you become passionate about, and ultimately, what people want to hire you for.

Sometimes my interest in working on a film is not always dictated specifically by the character. Sometimes it's simply about wanting to be a part of a vision that I love, or a script that I love. I find exciting and gratifying.
Elijah Wood -
When I work, I disappear into work, which I like to do, and sometimes I don't really have a choice. It's not a conscious thing. It's just total devotion to what I'm doing.
Elijah Wood -
I'm gonna keep it in the fridge. You know. Its a food item.
Elijah Wood -
I've been really lucky from eight years old to continue doing what I do and continue to love it. I've been able to travel all over the world. I've had experiences at my age that a lot of people haven't. So, you know, I've missed out on certain things, but in other ways I've gained, so it balances itself out.
Elijah Wood -
Those eyes!' ... I've heard that my whole life. I'm actually quite blind. I wear contacts.
Elijah Wood -
The war is definitely in the background, only referred to in radio news blips and conversation. I think, ultimately, this film is about the choices these guys are faced with. In that way, I think this is a more personal story about their friendship, about the reaction that they have when they're essentially faced with death, to a certain degree.

I just got called Nigel...
Elijah Wood -
It's fantastic, are you kidding? To sort of be part of this project from the ground up, from the script form, and then for it to kind of do as well as it did in the States in the festivals, and come here; it's fantastic, it's wonderful.
Elijah Wood -
So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.
Elijah Wood -
It was kind of unique and great to have two films coming out within a week. It certainly was a different experience for me.
Elijah Wood -
Getting away from Frodo comes up a lot.
Elijah Wood -
LOTR' was a landmark experience in my career, ... And it's where I helped to define myself as a human being and as an adult. I went to New Zealand by myself and had my own house and my own car.

The predominant difference between television and film is the pace to which you work, but the development of the character or the process for playing the character isn't necessarily different.
Elijah Wood -
I watched the Lost series in the US and it's great.
Elijah Wood -
I'm always looking for something very different from anything I've done. I'm attracted to a great script, and not necessarily a great character.
Elijah Wood -
I definitely don't look my age, ... So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.
Elijah Wood -
I don't know that I necessarily feel more comfortable in the context of smaller films, but I tend to feel more comfortable more often than not with the material of smaller films.
Elijah Wood -
So, as much as it is about this continuing war, the reinstated draft, and their individual views, it's really sort of a deeply human tale, and a character study as well.

I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, "Poor thing." I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better.
Elijah Wood -
I think horror comedies tend to skew more comedy than horror, for the most part.
Elijah Wood -
An amazing thing to . . . have that kind of impact on people.
Elijah Wood -
Quite simply it is love. It is the unconditional love that says, regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you.
