Orlando Bloom

"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."

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

"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 think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it."

"I went to Antarctica on a science research boat just to sort of clear my head."

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

"I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say."

"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."

"I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version."

"I'm trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned."

"Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to."

"The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?"

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

"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."

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