(12/18/03, about the scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) in which Sam helps Frodo up Mount Doom) It was an incredible acting experience, being on the side of a volcano with that language. That language is so beautiful: "It`ll be springtime soon, and they`ll be sowing barley on the fields." When Peter (Peter Jackson) came up to tell me to lower my arm, something like that, tears were streaming down his face, and to see him that emotional just forced me into it . . . It (finally seeing the last three reels of the film) was a huge cry. It was all of the tension and stress and pressure of having a wife and children, having a career, the investment of these movies. I was sobbing and heaving, I could barely breathe, and the movie facilitated that. It was just a huge release.
