Elijah Wood Quotes on Movies (5 Quotes)


    Of all the films I've worked on, that is among my favorites. It's an incredibly beautiful film. (Levinson) really captures what it means to be in a family and the ups and downs of that. He maps out beautifully how families moved from Eastern Europe to the United States and how they got broken up by the modern age.

    I credit my mom Debbie for creating a solid family base, ... She gave me a strong sense of reality so I could avoid falling into the normal pitfalls of child actors.

    It's a film called 'Bobby,' ... It's about the day that Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel, and it takes place at the Ambassador. It's essentially about a cross-section of various people from all walks of life, at that hotel on that day, all leading up to his speech and him being assassinated.

    I think there were a few things that really interested me. One was that I didn't know a lot about hooligan culture. I'd heard of football violence but I didn't quite understand how intense it really is, how organized it is, and more importantly, how these people aren't necessarily criminals or thugs in their daily life. They almost have this sort of double life. They're people with families and some of them have relatively good jobs. That fascinated me. And also the opportunity of being able to take a character from that kind of relatively innocent place to essentially making him a hooligan was very attractive to me. To explore a darker side of humanity that I'd not really explored in film before just as an actor was an interesting challenge.

    I really have the greatest time at these events because I am a fan first, I am a gamer, I am a film fan and a horror buff, so I am here as a fan as well as a kind of featured guest.
