“Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read the book [The Lord of the Rings] I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that's not a Pippin thing to do, I don't know what is.”
“Working as a bookbinder, I had put covers on "The Lord of the Rings," but I never read it. It was just too big. I finally read it when I knew I was playing Pippin and realized that really it is all about Pippin and some other people!”
“It's been two years since we filmed the three Rings films. It was like stepping back in time when I first walked on set. . . . Playing Pippin again was just like saying hello to an old friend.”
“To play one of the main characters in it, it's not like the kind of thing you don't do. Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in "Lord of the Rings". . . . in fact, I'm trying to think - what else would you rather do, you know? I can't actually think of another job that I'd rather do.”
“I'm delighted to be involved with Discovery. For anyone growing up in Scotland who ever thought about a future in the massively exciting world of film, this is the place to discover the opportunities that are out there to help you achieve it.”
