When I didn't get a job, I thought, 'Don't worry, there'll be another one.' I still live by that now. Nothing really fazes me any more.
If I have to look a certain way for something, I know how long it's going to take me do it.
I certainly didn't want to make another movie that's 'just another Dracula film.'
People come up to me in pubs - gay pubs, mind you - and can't believe that I'm gay.
'The Desolation of Smaug' stands alone as an action/adventure epic movie. It's visually stunning, and the 3D is incredible. Plus, it's directed by Peter Jackson, and he's extraordinary.
