Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?
I’ve had several really tangible dreams about UFOs, and they’ve been amazing!
I can live without endless television programmes and films just centered around computers. I can sort of live without that.
I’ve always loved Christmas and that’s not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It’s always a magical time and I’m unashamed in my love for Christmas.
Whenever someone says to my mum: ‘How’s your son doing?’ she says: ‘Which one?’ If you’re a parent, you’re not going to go: ‘Oh I’ll concentrate on the famous one.’
Organised religion, organised anything, requires commitment and requires an engagement with something. A lot of the time, we don’t want to commit.

Like any friendship or marriage, familiarity breeds more contempt, and love, and everything.

I think what ‘The Hobbit’ and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship… so they’re things that do resonate with people.
I think people just like seeing friendship. I think people like seeing people who just drive each other up the wall, but at same time, can’t live without each other.
I’m a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.
You don’t want your children to look at you like you are anything special other than their dad.
