CeleM in Onstage_1 asks: What kind of cultural differences are there between you and your British costars?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: That's a good question. The music, television, movies, those are all kinds of differences that they knew things I didn't know because I wasn't exposed to the same television or music. There were plenty of recommendations from the actors on the movie
Elijah_Wood_Live says: for music and movies. There's a massive pop culture in England, I was aware of it because I've spent time there, but I really integrated myself into that perspective when I got there. A beer and a pub become very important especially with friends.
SleeplessMarea in Onstage_1 asks: This is for my daughter: What is your favorite line from Fellowship? (We already know Billy's!)
Elijah_Wood_Live says: One of my favorite lines is when Galadriel says, "Even the smallest person can have an effect on the rest of the world." Which is what she says to Frodo when he's alone and feels the burdon of wearing the ring. You have within you the ability to have an
Elijah_Wood_Live says: effect on the world around you.
sgchik in Onstage_1 asks: You said you were into film editing, how about one day directing?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: I would absolutely love to do that. I'm just scratching the surface of film editing. I feel so lucky to have been working as long as I have, it's like being in film school for 12 years. I love all the departments that pour out their heart to create a
Elijah_Wood_Live says: collective effort. To be part of "Lord of the Ring" and see the process, it's fascinating, I would love to be a part of the process from a different perspective.
UtilityPorpoise in Onstage_1 asks: I've heard there will be five months of reshoots or pick-ups next year for ROTK. What all will that entail?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: we've already done. They are talking about us returning in June, and we'll know then what we have to shoot. I'm looking forward to go back.
SwedishSuzy2 in Onstage_1 asks: We're all excited to meet you.Is there a person YOU would love to have a chat with?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: There are so many people I'd love to chat with. Tom York from Radiohead because I find him fascinating and incredibly talented. I always think of people in music because I gravitate to music and musical artists. Prince would be interesting, I'm
Elijah_Wood_Live says: rediculously curious what his perspective is. Also directors like Lars Von Trier, Spike Jonez, there's tons of people.
DishDiva says: Have you met Steven Spielberg?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: Yes, have you heard of his Shoah Foundation? He’s got a foundation that educates people on the holocaust, there are about 80 survivors and what they experienced. I had the honor to do some narration and they did interviews with older people who were child
Elijah_Wood_Live says: children at the time and their perspective.
IndieDontCare in Onstage_1 asks: I just got turned down for the part of Lady Macbeth in the school play. How do you you react if you dont get a part that you really wanted?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: First off, I'm really sorry you got turned down, that's aweful. I think if you're looking forward to a role and it doesn't work out, it can be disappointing at the moment but I think what's meant to be will be. I look back on movies I couldn't be a part
Elijah_Wood_Live says: of that I really wanted to do, it left me open to do something else that I really enjoyed doing. It can be disappointing, but there's always something else, hopefully.
Elijah_Wood_Live says: It can be. I don't know. I feel like if I'm not cast in something and they don't want me to be a part of it, then that's ok. They want someone else, and they'll do good. I wanted to be a part of "Rushmore" and I'm glad now that I wasn't in it because
Elijah_Wood_Live says: Jason was awesome.
Màrr¡_Xmৠin Onstage_1 asks: Hi Elijah, did you read "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy when you were younger? And if so, what were your emotions when you found out you had a role in the film?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: Jason was awesome.
DishDiva says: gigaladriel in MSN_AoVivo1 asks: Did you already know the J.R.R.TOLKIEN books before the invitation for the movie?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: Yes, I read "The Hobbit" but not "Lord of the Rings" until I got there. The excitement of getting the role was pure and I didn't need the emotional connection with the book to have the profound connection I had. I wanted to work with Peter Jackson, I also
Elijah_Wood_Live says: really wanted to play Frodo, and to go to New Zealand.
DishDiva says: RogerRoque in MSN_AoVivo1 asks: In which ways do you resemble Frodo?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: That's a difficult question, eqating qualities or yourself and character. I relate to him because he has a worldliness coming from stories from Bilbo. So I related to that being able to travel around and learn from people. Also what makes him a hobbit,
Elijah_Wood_Live says: love of food, land, and I apply that to my life as well.
DishDiva says: For all you girls out there. . .
Crazy_Sexy_Cool88 in Onstage_1 asks: We hear that you're a real romantic, what sort of thing do you do to make a girl feel loved?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: I don't know. I am a real romantic, not in the classical, or cliche like flowers all the time, but I think I'm romantic in the sense I believe in passion and the moment, and words that mean something in a special way. I guess I'm really tactile and I love
Elijah_Wood_Live says: the sense of touch from someone you care about. And expressing one's emotion in an honest way and that can be romantic. I think one of the most romantic things is waking up to someone in the morning, I find that beautiful.
Elijah_Wood_Live says: waking up next to someone in the morning.
DishDiva says: Wow. OK!
Mariand6 in Onstage_1 asks: what gift would you like to have?
Elijah_Wood_Live says: It's funny, this year has been difficult to think of one thing I want. I enjoy DVDs and books. This year I want a Palm Pilot, I'm a bit of a pack rat and lose things easily so to have something to organize my life would be beneficial. Or a new video
Elijah_Wood_Live says: camera, mines a bit out of date.
DishDiva says: Elijah, thank you for joining us tonight on MSN Live!
