I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

Steve McQueen is my style hero. He's just cool, isn't he?

You can't date if you're famous. That's how it seems to me.

Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

As an actor, you can't think about the end result or the fame; you just have to focus on the day you're in. You have no control over the finished product, what people will think of it, so all you have is the experience of making it, and you have to stay focused on that.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.

Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.

I have flown with British Airways since I was a very little child, so it feels quite special to have gone from family holidays flying around Europe to become a gold card holder and be spoiled enough to travel more than not in first class.

I generally travel with my laptop, a couple of great books, and my iPod.

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.

I'm sure I was a great disappointment to many women because I wasn't Errol Flynn. But I'm me. I think that's got some merit.

When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.

I wish I could just be in the movies and still enjoy everything else like a normal person.

When I finished the trilogy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, I had a gear shift and thought, 'I need to take a moment to smell the roses.'

Success can allow you to try for greatness, can give you an opportunity to take a chance on something. I'm very blessed to have the success that I've had, and that's given me so many opportunities to work on being great.

Yeah, I'm kind of fit. And I'm quite careful about my diet.

You can drive an SUV, but there's a balance. If you do that, maybe use energy-efficient light bulbs at home or just be conscious of switching off lights. If you can afford to drive an SUV, maybe you can afford to make a donation to a wind farm or plant some trees. It's all about balance.

Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.
