Creativity is the key for any child with dyslexia, or for anyone for that matter. Then you can think outside of the box. Teach them anything is attainable. Let them run with what you see is whatever they need to run with.
Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.
The girls have got a bit excited. I spoke to my agent and she says she's wading through the fan mail. We've got bags of it.
Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for.
For a kid in London, Hollywood seems like such a mythical place.
It was really good not riding a horse and having a sword for once,
It's cool. It's the reason I get to do what I do.
It was amazing to be part of a community. A couple of girls even offered to knit me a scarf.
I'm going to start a new career as a singer, I think. I'm going to go the way of Russell Crowe.
It's so easy to forget what's important in life,
When I realized that if I was an actor, I could be any character I wanted instead of just one particular, I was like, 'Wow, that's cool.'
I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack; it was ridiculous. It wasn't because I thought it was cool; it was just because I loved living on the edge. But I've chilled.
I was an angry, angry child at times.
When I was filming, I imagined that Legolas was a meditative character who was very thoughtful and had a certain amount of depth to him. I started working on trying to find this focus that Legolas has, which wasn't really like me.
