On 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!"
- Orlando Bloommay have killed the cat; more likely the cat was just unlucky, or else curious to see what death was like, having no cause to go on licking paws, or fathering litter on litter of kittens, predictably.
- Alastair Reid(Treadwell recorded this truth in his book,) Among Grizzlies, ... pivoted on its back paws and bolted in a violent retreat. ? For me, the encounter was like looking into a mirror. I gazed into the face of a kindred soul, a being that was potentially lethal, but in reality was just as frightened as I was.
