A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.Orlando Bloom

Elves are cool, man.Orlando Bloom

Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.Orlando Bloom

Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.Orlando Bloom

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.Orlando Bloom

I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.Orlando Bloom

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.Orlando Bloom

I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?Orlando Bloom

I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and to see how he goes about business, which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.Orlando Bloom

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.Orlando Bloom

I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.Orlando Bloom

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.Orlando Bloom

I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.Orlando Bloom

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.Orlando Bloom

I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.Orlando Bloom

I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.Orlando Bloom

I'm trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.Orlando Bloom

I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.Orlando Bloom

Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.Orlando Bloom

Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.Orlando Bloom

People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.Orlando Bloom

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?Orlando Bloom

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.Orlando Bloom

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.Orlando Bloom

When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.Orlando Bloom

Yeah, I mean the material, directors, the other cast, and if you think you can do something with the character then you do it and go from there. I am looking forward to doing some smaller movies.Orlando Bloom
