 Orlando Bloom QuotationOn his character Legolas and the way Legolas moves: "Legolas doesn't speak a lot - he prefers to let his actions speak for him. Legolas' moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat. You know how cats can jump and land steadily on their paws? That's what I'm trying to do. There's a strength in that, but it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do without falling over!" "It's all very surreal. I've had two very fantastic experiences. In Lord of the Rings and in Black Hawk Down. I feel very lucky. I'm sort of doubly excited." "I'm rather accident-prone, I have to admit. I've broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times." On how he got the part in Black Hawk Down - "My character breaks his back, and I had mentioned I had done that when I was up for the part. Who knows why one actor gets a job and another doesn't? I think it was just good timing that I happened to be there and I had had the experience - I mean, I was lucky." "I broke my back. I fell out of a window... some friends had a roof terrace on the landing before their apartment, and I fell off the drain pipe. It gave way, actually, and I fell three floors. I was told I might not walk again. So, for about four days,I was contemplating that as a serious part of reality. Then they operated, and I walked out of the hospital in about twelve days." "Vig used to call me 'elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails." On his 2002 Empire Award: "I think my mum will have [my award] in pride of place somewhere beside my grandmother on the mantelpiece." "We have these digs at each other. Viggo will go on about Elves and how they're always doing their nails and brushing their long, blonde hair, and being all prissy. And I just say: Well, at least I'm going to live forever! Got that? LIVE FOREVER!" "You have to be quite serious about tattoos [because] they're there forever." "For a young actor like me to have the oportunity to work with the genre of actors and directors on 'Lord Of The Rings' is unbelievable. There was no, should I should I not. It was like, where do I sign up! It was just bonkers. It was like here, have a life." "It's a bit strange to be included in those sexiest people polls and all that sort of thing. I don't really even know who I'm up against!" "Elf Envy...they all had it." Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, "That's for me." I got into acting for the women. "I'm in love with love. It's heavenly when you're falling for someone and you can't stop thinking about her." [on being in love in general] "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. I'm like, 'OK, well, what do we do with that, then?' And she explains that we're sending them pictures and stuff, which is great." It was like a drama school of its own, being on set. Peter [Jackson] is a genius. Ian McKellen is the greatest theatre actor in Britain. He's somebody I look at and say, 'That's what I would like to do.' I had studied videos of his performances, so it was bizarre to be thrown into an environment with him. The thing with Ridley [Scott] is he's been doing this forever, he knows what it is he wants and how to get it. There's absolutely no messing around on set. Having said that, he's very accessible to actors, very open to what you want to do and willing to talk about it. He casts people who he feels are going to bring something to the role and allows them to take care of the situation, to do what it is that they do. I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part. Theatre is something that I feel very important for an actor to keep doing. I think it keeps you sharp. But at the moment I'm intrigued with movies and filmmaking. It hasn't lured me away from theatre, but I'm just going to try to ride this wave and then jump onto another and see how far it takes me. I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic. Movie Title: Black Hawk Down (2001) as Todd Blackburn: Todd Blackburn : Well, I'm here to kick some ass. Eversmann : You okay? Todd Blackburn : Excited. In a good way. I've been training my whole life for this. Eversmann : You ever shot at anybody before? Todd Blackburn : No Sergeant. Eversmann : Me neither. [After Hoot cuts in front of him in line for food] Todd Blackburn : Hey, there's a line. "Hoot" : I know. Todd Blackburn : And this ain't the end of it. "Hoot" : I know. Eversmann : You brought your gun? Todd Blackburn : Yessir! Want me to shoot? I'm rested. Eversmann : When'd you get in? Todd Blackburn : Just now, sir. Movie Title: Wilde (1997) as Rentboy: Rentboy : Looking for someone? Movie Title: The Calcium Kid (2004) as Jimmy: Jimmy : I've drank three pints of milk a day for as long as I can remember. Because of all the calcium, I've never had a filling, or been knocked out, and my bones are as hard as rock! Jimmy : But what if I don't knock him out? I mean, he is the undefeated World Champion. Jimmy : [holding a shirt with 'The Kalcium Kid' on it] But calcium is spelled with a 'C,' not a 'K', Mr. Bush. Herbie Bush : C, K, C, K, CK... It's flummoxed. Movie Title: Troy (2004) as Paris: Hector : Do you know what you have done? Do you know how many years our father worked for peace? Paris : I love her. Hector : Ugh. It's all a game to you isn't it? You roam from town to town, bedding merchants' wives and temple maids and you think you know something about love? What about your father's love? You spat on him when you brought her onto this ship! What about the love for your country? You'd let Troy burn for this woman? I won't let you start a war for her. Paris : May I speak? If what you say is true. I've wronged you. I've wronged our father. If you want to take Helen back to Sparta, so be it! But I go with her. Hector : To Sparta, they'll kill you. Paris : Then I'll die fighting. Hector : Oh, and that's sounds heroic to you doesn't it? To die fighting. Tell me little brother, have you ever killed a man? Paris : No. Hector : Ever seen a man die in combat? Paris : No. Hector : I've killed men and I've heard them dying and I've watched them dying and there's nothing glorious about it, nothing poetic. You say you're willing to die for love but you know nothing about dying and you know nothing about love! Paris : All the same, I go with her. I won't ask you to fight my war. Hector : You already have. Priam : Do you love her, my son? Paris : Father, you are a great king, because you love your country so much. Every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every rock in the river... You love all of Troy. That is the way I love Helen. Hector : Tell me little brother, have you ever killed a man? Paris : No Hector : Ever seen a man die in combat? Paris : No Hector : I've killed men and I've heard them dying and I've watched them dying and there's nothing glorious about it. Paris : Pearls from the sea of Propontus. Helen : They're beautiful, but I could never wear them, Menelaus would kill us both. Paris : Don't be afraid of him. Helen : I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of tommorow. I'm afraid of watching you sail away and knowing you'll never come back. Before you came to Sparta, I was a ghost. I walked and I ate and I swam in the sea... I was just a ghost. Paris : You don't have to fear tommorow... come with me! Helen : Don't play with me, don't play. Paris : If you come, we'll never be safe. Men will hunt us, the gods will curse us, but I'll love you. Until the day they burn my body, I'll love you. Helen : You should not have come here tonight. Paris : That's what you said last night? Helen : Last night was a mistake. Paris : And the night before? Helen : I have made many mistakes this week. Paris : The weather is good, Poseidon has blessed our voyage. Hector : Sometimes the gods will bless you in the morning and curse you in the afternoon. Paris : Do you love me brother? Would you defend me against any enemy? Hector : The last time you spoke to me like this you were ten years old and had just stolen father's horse... what have you done now? Paris : I must show you something. Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) as Legolas: Gandalf : He's suffered a defeat, yes, but... behind the walls of Mordor, our enemy is regrouping. Gimli : Let him stay there. *Let him rot!* Why should we care? Gandalf : Because 10,000 Orcs now stand between Frodo and Mount Doom. I've sent him to his death. Aragorn : No. There is still hope for Frodo. He needs time... and safe passage across the plains of Gorgoroth. We can give him that. Gimli : How? Aragorn : Draw out Sauron's armies. Empty his lands. Then we gather our full strength and march on the Black Gate. Eomer : We cannot achieve victory through strength of arms. Aragorn : Not for ourselves. But we can give Frodo his chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us. Keep him blind to all else that moves. Legolas : A diversion. Gandalf : Sauron will suspect a trap. He will not take the bait. Legolas : The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East. A sleepless malice. The eye of the enemy is moving. He is HERE. Gimli : Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf. Legolas : What about side by side with a friend? Gimli : Aye. I could do that. Legolas : The horses are restless, the men are quiet. Legolas : The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut. [Aragorn readies to take the Paths of the Dead. He leads his horse towards the entrance and passes by Gimli, who stops him] Gimli : Where do you think you're going? Aragorn : Not this time Gimli. [Walks up to them, leading his horse] Legolas : Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of dwarves? Gimli : You may as well accept it. We're going with you, laddy. Legolas : HE is here! Gimli : That road there... where does that lead? Legolas : It is the road to the Dimholt, the door under the mountain. Eomer : None who venture there ever return. That mountain is evil. Gimli : What kind of army would live in such a place. Legolas : One that is cursed. Long ago the men of the mountain swore an oath to the last king of Gondor to come to his aid, to fight. But when the time came when Gondor's need was dire they fled vanishing into the darkness of the mountain. And so Isildur cursed them never to rest until they had fulfilled their pledge. Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) as Legolas: Aragorn : If by me life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword... Legolas : ...and you have my bow... Gimli : ...and my axe. Boromir : You carry the fate of us all little one. If this is indeed the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done. Elrond : Strangers from different lands, friends of old you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of a knife, none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. We are all bound to this one fate, this one doom. Bring forth the ring Frodo. [Frodo puts the ring on a stand for all to see] Boromir : It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him. Aragorn : You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master. Boromir : And what would a Ranger know of this matter? Legolas : This is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance. Aragorn : Haavan Da, Legolas. Boromir : Gondor has no King, Gondor needs no King. Gandalf : Aragorn is right. We cannot use it. Elrond : You have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed. Gimli : Then what are we waiting for. [unsuccessfully tries to chop the ring in half with his axe] Elrond : The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this. Boromir : One does not simply walk into Mordor. It's Black Gates are gaurded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire, ash, and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand could you do this. It is folley. Legolas : Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed. Gimli : And I suppose you think your the one to do it? Boromir : And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his? Gimli : I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf. Never trust and Elf! Legolas : Hurry. Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore. [pause] Legolas : You mean not to follow them? Aragorn : Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands. Gimli : Then it has all been in vain. The fellowship has failed. Aragorn : Not if we hold true to each other. [pause] Aragorn : We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc. Legolas : A shadow and a threat have been growing in my mind. [On the mountain] Legolas : There is a foul voice on the air. Gandalf : It's Saruman! [avalanches start] Aragorn : He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf, we must turn back! Gandalf : No! Legolas : A lament for Gandalf... [heard in the background] Merry : What do they say about him? Legolas : I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near. Legolas : Something draws near. I can feel it. Legolas : We cannot linger. [Horn blowing in distance] Legolas : The Horn of Gondor. Aragorn : Boromir! Gimli : Dwarf doors are invisible when closed. Gandalf : Yes, Gimli, their own masters cannot find them, if their secrets are forgotten. Legolas : Why doesn't that surprise me? Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) as Legolas: Legolas : [in Elvish] You're late. [in English] Legolas : You look terrible. Legolas : A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night. Eomer : What business does an elf, man, and a dwarf have in the Ridder-Mark? Speak quickly. Gimli : Give me your name, horse-master, and I shall give you mine. Eomer : [dismounts] I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground. Legolas : [draws his bow and aims at arrow at Eomer's throat] You would die before your stroke fell. Aragorn : Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall. Legolas : They may yet be alive. Aragorn : Farmers, ferriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers. Gimli : Most have seen too many winters. Legolas : Or too few. Gimli : Whatever luck you live by... let's hope it lasts the night. Legolas : You're friends are with you, Aragorn. Gimli : Let's hope they last the night... Legolas : They run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them. [Gandalf the White whistles and a white horse appears] Legolas : That is one of the Mearas, unless my eyes are cheated by some spell. Gandalf : Shadowfax. He's the lord of all horses and he's been my friend through many dangers. Gimli : What's happening out there? Legolas : Shall I describe it to you... or would you like me to find you a box? [During the Battle of Helm's Deep, Gimli has killed an Uruk-Hai warrior] Gimli : Legolas. Two already. Legolas : I'm on seventeen. Gimli : What. I'll have no pointy ear outscoring me. Legolas : [shoots two more arrows] Nineteen. Aragorn : Gimli, lower your axe. Legolas : The trees have feelings, my friend. The elves began it, waking up the trees, teaching them to speak. Gimli : Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings? Legolas : Forgive me. I mistook you for Saruman Gandalf : I am Saruman. Or Rather, Saruman as he should have been. Legolas : Look at them. They're frightened. You can see it in their eyes. [All the men turn to look at him] Legolas : [in Elvish] And they should be. Three hundred... against ten thousand! Aragorn : [also in Elvish] They have a better chance defending themselves here than at Edoras... Legolas : Aragorn [in Elvish] Legolas : They cannot win this fight. They are all going to die! Aragorn : Then I shall die as one of them! Aragorn : [about the orcs] Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent. Hurry! Legolas : Come on, Gimli! Gimli : Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest. No sign of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell! [after the battle of Helms Deep, Gimli is sitting an the dead body of on Orc, his ax lodged in the Orc's head] Legolas : Final count, 42. Gimli : Well that's a right fine number for a young elven princeling. But I am sitting pretty on a score of 43. [Legolas takes out an arrow, and shoots the orc Gimli is sitting on in the stomach] Legolas : 43! Gimli : He was already dead! Legolas : He was twitching. Gimli : He was twitching because he has my AX BURIED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM! Movie Title: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) as Will Turner: Will Turner : You cheated. Jack Sparrow : [shrugs] Pirate. Mr. Gibbs : Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft. Will Turner : He roped a couple of sea turtles. Mr. Gibbs : Aye. Sea turtles. Will Turner : What did he use for rope? Jack Sparrow : [from beside them] Human hair. [pause] Jack Sparrow : From my back. Jack Sparrow : Move away. Will Turner : No. Jack Sparrow : Please move? Will Turner : No. I cannot just step aside and let you escape. Jack Sparrow : This shot was not meant for you. Jack Sparrow : What's your name? Will Turner : Will Turner. Jack Sparrow : That would be short for William, I imagine. Good strong name, no doubt named for your father, eh? Will Turner : Yes. Jack Sparrow : Well Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonnie lass. Do we have an accord? [puts out his hand] Will Turner : Agreed. [they shake hands] Jack Sparrow : [after Will draws his sword] Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again. Will Turner : You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you. Jack Sparrow : That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it? Will Turner : Where's Elizabeth? Jack Sparrow : She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really... except for Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman. Will Turner : It's not your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood... the blood of a pirate. Grapple : Say goodbye. [A sign swings down and hits Grapple through a shop window] Will Turner : Goodbye. Jack Sparrow : [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these? Will Turner : I do. And I practice with them three hours a day. Jack Sparrow : You need to find yourself a girl mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you? Will Turner : I practice three hours a day, so when I meet a pirate, I can kill it. [Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs : Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot! Jack! Mother's love! You should know it's bad luck to wake a man when he's sleeping. Jack Sparrow : Fortunately, I know how to counter it; the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from a man who did the waking. Mr. Gibbs : Aye, that'll about do it. [Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs : Blast I'm already awake. Will Turner : That was for the smell. [after inspecting the crew] Jack Sparrow : Satisfied? Will Turner : Well you proved they're mad. [to Elizabeth] Jack Sparrow : Where's the medallion? Elizabeth : Wretch. [attempts to slap him] Jack Sparrow : [grabs her wrist] Ah, where is dear William? Elizabeth : Will! Will Turner : Elizabeth! Jack Sparrow : Monkey! Jack Sparrow : You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before? Will Turner : I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates. Elizabeth : Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth? Will Turner : At least once more, Miss Swann, as always. Will Turner : We're going to steal a ship? That ship? Jack Sparrow : Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. Norrington : You forget your place, Turner. Will Turner : It's right here. Between you and Jack. Elizabeth : As is mine. Governor Swann : Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down. Norrington : So, this is where your heart truly lies, then? Elizabeth : It is. Will Turner : Elizabeth goes free. Barbossa : Yes, we know that one, anything else? Will Turner : My name is Will Turner, my father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins. Ragetti : Why, it's the spittin' image of our Bootstrap Bill, come back to haunt us. Will Turner : On my word, do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones's locker. Will Turner : That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure. Jack Sparrow : Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate. Will Turner : Elizabeth, I should have told you every day from the moment I met you [pause] Will Turner : I love you. Elizabeth : Whose side is Jack on? Will Turner : At the moment? Will Turner : This is either madness... or brilliance. Jack Sparrow : It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide. Jack Sparrow : One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going: This girl... how far are you willing to go to save her? Will Turner : I'd die for her. Jack Sparrow : Oh good. No worries then. Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : What's in your head, boy? Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : You've only got one shot and we can't die. Jack Sparrow : Don't do anything stupid. Will Turner : You can't. [points gun at his own throat] Will Turner : I can. Jack Sparrow : Like that. Elizabeth : I had a dream about you last night. Will Turner : About me? Governor Swann : Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to c... Elizabeth : About the day we met. Do you remember? Jack Sparrow : Anamaria. [Anamaria slaps Jack] Will Turner : I suppose, you didn't deserve that one either? Jack Sparrow : No, that one I deserved. Anamaria : You stole my boat! [Anamaria slaps Jack again] Jack Sparrow : Borrowed... borrowed, but with every intention of bringing it back. Anamaria : But you didn't! Will Turner : You'll get another one. Anamaria : I will. Will Turner : A better one. Jack Sparrow : A better one. Will Turner : That one. Jack Sparrow : What one? [Will looks at the Interceptor] Will Turner : That one? Aye, that one. What say you to that? The Crew: Aye! Mr. Gibbs : No, it's frightful bad luck to have a woman aboard. Jack Sparrow : It would be far worse not to have her. [after breaking Jack out of jail] Will Turner : Hurry, someone would have heard that. Jack Sparrow : Not without my effects. Will Turner : I can get you out of here Jack Sparrow : How's that... the key's run off. Barbossa : Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot. Will Turner : He didn't waste it. Governor Swann : Do pass my compliments on to your master. Will Turner : I shall. [pauses] Will Turner : A craftsman is always proud to hear his work is appreciated. Jack Sparrow : You think this wise boy?, crossing blades with a pirate... Will Turner : You threatened miss swan. Movie Title: Ned Kelly (2003) as Joe Byrne: Aaron Sherritt : Can you keep your voices down ? I've got a visitor. Joe Byrne : Who? Aaron Sherritt : Mary Hegarty. Joe Byrne : Mary Hegarty? Jesus, she may only be thirteen! Aaron Sherritt : Ah, I'm not superstitious. Joe Byrne : Ah! The monkey's been shot! Poor little bugger! Joe Byrne : Surely there's no harm in being friendly |
