You don't want your children to look at you like you are anything special other than their dad.
I wasn't like a Fifties dad.
I'm a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.
I think people just like seeing friendship. I think people like seeing people who just drive each other up the wall, but at same time, can't live without each other.
I think what 'The Hobbit' and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship... so they're things that do resonate with people.
Without sounding overly pompous about it, I don't really trust certainty in anything, actually. Especially as I get older. Except love. I'm certain of love, I guess.
Like any friendship or marriage, familiarity breeds more contempt, and love, and everything.
The design of 'Love Actually,' the typeface, the basic line of that poster and that DVD cover has been ripped off so many times.
My idea of a good night out is staying in.
Organised religion, organised anything, requires commitment and requires an engagement with something. A lot of the time, we don't want to commit.

I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.
I can live without endless television programmes and films just centered around computers. I can sort of live without that.
I don't like 'cool telly.'
I was probably cool around the end of 2002.
