Tolkien was influenced by South Africa when he was writing ‘Lord of the Rings.’ It’s really epic scenery.

‘Doctor Who‘ is not as literary as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ is – books have come out, but they are from the television episodes. So there is that difference… it’s more scholastic.

I think I’ve just gotten really good at accessorizing personally. I’ve always been good at accessorizing other people, and intellectually, I’ve known how to accessorize, but I was pretty minimal personally – although I was wearing a ton of rings.

The backgrounds in Lord of the Rings are all explained.

When we shot ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ we had special permission to film in wild areas of New Zealand that could be accessed only by helicopter. They would drop us off and we would work all day, and they’d pick us up and take us out again.

Every now and then, I strike something that just goes click, you know, in my head. As Gertrude Stein used to say, it rings the bell, and I feel, this is great.

To say someone is the greatest, I just don’t want championships to define that greatness. Because under that theory, Robert Horry is one of the five or six best basketball players ever – he has seven championship rings. We know that not to be true.

When you see ‘Lord of the Rings,’ you want to feel like you’ve been dropped into it and that you’re part of it. You don’t want to be aware of how it’s being done; you just want it to feel really seamless.

It is very gratifying to see the music from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy find a new life on the concert stage as it is performed by different orchestras and choruses throughout the world.

I just want to keep going for broke, making bigger and bigger things like ‘Lord of the Rings’ until they kick me out of Hollywood. I just want to do the biggest thing I can.

The Saturn system is a rich planetary system. It offers mystery, scientific insight, and obviously splendour beyond compare, and the investigation of this system has enormous cosmic reach… just studying the rings alone, we stand to learn a lot about the discs of stars and gas that we call the spiral galaxies.

It’s an interesting but useless bit of information that every single character in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ wears a wig, and many of them wears a prosthetic – false ears, feet, hands. In my case, nose.
56
The ultimate superstar has to have more than skill on the court. He must possess the ‘It Factor‘ – a combination of marketable personality and championship rings.
57
58
I made two rings for myself, and when I was in Los Angeles, I walked into a store called Maxfields, and they essentially bought them off my hands.
59
‘The Lord of the Rings,’ obviously, had a huge, huge impact on me. I read a lot of ‘Hardy Boys,’ also. I liked the equation, that it was always the same but a little bit different. There’s something comforting about those books.
60
61
I keep saying I am an auto-didact, but I have a lot of outside influences. One I could cite is juggler Francis Brunn, who was the first man to throw ten rings in the air; he was really an amazing juggler who showed onstage the quest for perfection.
62
63
I’d already started directing short films when we were doing ‘Lord of the Rings,’ then videogame projects.

Once that bell rings, all I can do is perform at the best of my abilities and at the top of my game.

Wrestling ultimately comes down to what happens when the bell rings, and it comes down to athleticism, storytelling, and characters – and what we’re doing in ‘Lucha Underground‘ is the highest-quality wrestling out there.
72
I only wear two rings: a wedding ring and my World Series ring.
73
The Arab world is erupting, which is extraordinary, and to see it happen is like watching rings spreading on a pool – it goes out; it varies so much. The spontaneity is wonderful, but very often, if it’s not well organized, it breaks up, and it peters out.

Glasses, earrings, rings, sneakers. I love every little accessory.

To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that. But the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience.
81
82
I’ve seen my dad’s three rings. I’d love to have one for myself.
83
I’ve tried wearing more than one ring on one hand and it doesn’t look good. It’s overkill, I think. So I think a ring on either hand. Nine times out of ten I’ll go for pinky rings, but not always.
84
85
86
I thought that there might be something unsatisfying about directing two Tolkien movies after ‘Lord of the Rings.’ I’d be trying to compete with myself and deliberately doing things differently.
87
I hate short hair on men – the ‘real’ man is something I don’t know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home.
88
More than anything, I wanted to be Aragorn in ‘Lord of the Rings,’ and I wanted to be Lirael in the ‘Sabriel’ trilogy. The only way I was ever going to get to do that was act, so I tried.
89
I grew up reading ‘Lord of the Rings’ and comic books, so that kind of epic quality I like.
90
I think ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there’s not really that deep of a mythological construct.
91
Everyone was very deeply involved in the world of ‘The Lord of the Rings’. From the wardrobe department to lighting, all were fascinated with the story. This is something that does not happen usually.
92
93
Because I was in the business of translating the ‘X-Men’ from the very successful comics, and taking the most popular book of the 20th century in ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and making it into three movies, I hope people realize I wouldn’t get involved in anything I didn’t think was really going to be worth their while.
94
Once that bell rings you’re on your own. It’s just you and the other guy.
95
My vision is one of celebrations and banquets, diplomas and banners, rings and parades.
96
97
That is definitely something that I feel more comfortable with now. When I did ‘Lord of the Rings,’ it was something I wasn’t quite prepared for, I didn’t know how to deal with that sort of attention, and I kind of shied away from that, but I’m better at dealing with that now – a lot better.
98
I really enjoy everything about this profession. From the training I do preparing for my matches, to the time I spend in the dressing room getting ready, right up until I make my entrance to the ring and the final bell rings.
99
The aggressive use of wiretaps is important: It shows that we are targeting white-collar insider-trading rings with the same powerful investigative tools that have worked so successfully against the mob and drug cartels.
100
I wanted to go and I wanted to drive the miles for no pay, I wanted to set up the rings, I wanted to set up the chairs, I wanted to go to training six-seven days a week for hours upon hours and blow myself up to where I can only work on instinct. I wanted to sleep in my car. I wanted to do all of that.

Doing some of the ‘Lord Of The Rings’ press junkets got a bit claustrophobic.

‘The Lord of the Rings,’ published in the mid-1950s, was intended as a prehistory to our own world. It was perceived by Tolkien to be a small but significant episode in a vast alternate mythology constructed entirely out of his own imagination.
109
Orlando‘s a really cool guy. They hired him for ‘Lord of the Rings’ out of drama school. He’s very new at this still and doesn’t have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we’ve tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.

112
Before ‘Lord of the Rings,’ some people would have just classed Peter Jackson as a horror director. But there is a mind there.
113
Voyager found Saturn to be a planet with a complex interior, atmosphere, and magnetosphere. In its rings – a vast, gleaming disk of icy rubble – the mission recorded signs of the same physical mechanisms that were key in configuring the early solar system and similar disks of material around other stars.
114
I don’t think Brian Cox does ‘The Wonders of the Solar System’ because he believes the world would be a better place if people understood about the rings of Saturn; I just think he finds physics extremely interesting. It brings him joy, and he wants to spread the love. I feel the same about economics.
115
I would love to live in ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ J. R. R. Tolkien’s world is so vivid and rich and sensual. I love the country setting and the routine of the hobbits. Of course, I would like to be a hobbit who goes on small adventures – not huge, horrifying ones like Frodo’s quest.
116
117
118
I don’t want to use the word ‘instinct,’ but when something good happens – something big or good in my life – I have this sensation that it was inevitable. Anything careerwise, ‘Lord of the Rings,’ ‘Rudy,’ or getting married. Which is weird, because you don’t ever want to be ungrateful for what you have.
119
And when your phone rings, pick it up. Open yourself up to the possibility a phone call offers. Discover this remarkable device called the telephone. It will give you a serious competitive advantage.
120
I won’t wear rings and jewelry on the stage because I don’t want you looking at my hands. I want you hearing what I’m saying.
121
122
At the end of the day, it is not about money. It is not about cars. It is about legacy and it is about rings.
123
124
I’m a really big ‘Lord of the Rings’ fan. I have all the extended editions.
125
126
127
As I meet more people who were my heroes, I see there is something about them that rings true with all I’ve ever read and heard about them, and that’s all that really matters.
128
129

131
I think the whole response to our art being so positive is that it rings true and it feels a unique thing and I feel that was the thing that we strive for in the beginning was to not conform to any preconceived notions of what we should be doing.
132
My first score for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ was the beginning of my journey into the world of Tolkien, and I will always hold a special fondness for the music and the experience.
133
When I first read ‘Lord of the Rings,’ I wanted to see a film of it. But at that time, the technology wasn’t there; there was no such thing as CGI.
134
135
136
I think the best thing I can do for me is to show up places and be clear-headed. Because when I’m clear-headed, my phone rings. I get opportunities.
137
I can remember watching ‘Lord of the Rings’ and being truly regretful that I wasn’t a being in that world.
138
I love those trilogy movies, like ‘Lord of the Rings.’
139
When I played Gollum in ‘Lord of the Rings,’ if I was climbing up the side of a mountain, which I physically did, you know, I was on every single occasion swimming through streams, all of that, that wasn’t captured. That was filmed on 35 millimeter, and for certain of those shots, it was rotoscoped and painted over.
140
141
142
143
In terms of the movie business, being in a ‘Lord of the Rings’ has given me more interesting options as work.
144
‘Lord of the Rings’ was 2001, 2002, and 2003, but Twitter didn’t start until 2007!
145
My experience of what a loving relationship is like rings true with a lot of people I meet. I have a theory that the people you meet, one way you choose them, is their suitability for you in that particular matter. Attitudes toward friendship and marriage are in many cases closely aligned.
146
147
148
149
I’d never read ‘Lord of the Rings’ until I was asked to play Gandalf, so I didn’t really know it was a frightfully famous book.
150
151
152
I love, love, love fantasy, like ‘Lord of the Rings’ and things like that.
153
154
I just turn on the TV and watch whatever is on, like ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Lord of the Rings.’
155
156
I wish I was in my 20s during the ’90s to really fully live it. I feel like that was a pretty exciting time being from Chicago, seeing Jordan win six rings.
157
158
‘The Sword of Shannara’ is about two brothers who find themselves on an epic quest to save humanity. It borrows from ‘Lord of the Rings’ but is still original in its own right. I read it in three days, then reread it, then went out and found every single book Terry Brooks ever wrote, and read all those.
159
160
When Ron Howard rings you up and says, ‘I’d like you to do my film,’ you do it.
