Elijah Wood - biography

“I definitely don’t look my age.  So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.”

“Dream the impossible because dreams do come true.”

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men.  True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”

“I’m kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed.”

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

“So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.”

“There’s a real purity in New Zealand that doesn’t exist in the states.  It’s actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore.  It’s a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world.  There is a sense of isolation and also being protected.”

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

“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.”

“If you cut off your arm instead of going ‘spurt, spurt, spurt’ wouldn’t it, like, go nuts?  Or would it go with the beat of your heart?”

“The worst kind of lying I’ve ever done is keeping things from people.”
