QUOTES
~I'm going to make up a few pins. It'd be stuff like 'Imprison Viggo' and 'Keep away from Viggo-he bites'

~If it did come to fisticuffs, I'd just like to say now that Viggo would lose. He'd get beaten up by Elijah.

~I'm hell bent on convincing the media that Viggo is either a woman in a man's body or the devil or that he does terrible things to baby animals and stuff like that.

~(about lij): Anyone who can fall down three flights of stairs and go on like nothing has happened has and incredible gift.

~Peter has a very young, boyish laugh-which we were always very intrigued to hear. He’s such a big guy, with a big black beard, unruly hair, you’d think he’d have a deep bass laugh, but he has this high pitched giggle.

~I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and having freezing cold glue applied to my feet. I won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long, days sitting in my trailer waiting... waiting... waiting. I won't miss glue in my ears. But I would do it all again tomorrow.

~I'd love to play a gangster but I think people might say I looked a bit too young and cheeky to play a character who'd just blown someones head off.

~If I could uninvent anything, I would uninvent Hitler's mum, guns and broccoli.

~I do quite like all the screaming crowds. I'm a big fan of the ladies, so to have them come to me without any real effort is amazing.

~[on hearing that Elijah Wood told a reporter that Monaghan, Wood, and Billy Boyd were considering sharing a home in New Zealand:] He has all these grand plans. We did look at property in New Zealand. What we're going to do first, correct me if I'm wrong, is we're going to buy property in our respective territories. Billy is going to buy a beautiful little cottage in Edinburgh and Elijah is going to buy some in L.A. (Boyd corrected him, "Glasgow!") [December 12, 2003]

~I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease.

~I've always had itching feet. I like being on the move every couple of years.

~[on the period after shooting The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003):] My first year in Los Angeles was pretty hellish. I came over here after the high point of 'Lord of the Rings,' and I saw all my friends jumping around to jobs, and I had nothing.... My manager at the time was not doing anything for me, and I kind of got into a little bit of a funk. I was living in a [lousy] house in a [bad] part of town. I didn't have a car, and living in L.A. without a car, well, is difficult. I couldn't get a car because I didn't have an American bank account and could not get credit. It's harder to get credit than what you might think. So at that point, I was just hanging out at my place all day, playing 'Grand Theft Auto III.' I was waiting for the phone I didn't have to ring.

~Went home and tried to make a cake, but the oven broke so I ate raw cake mix, watched TV, felt sick, and went to Billy's.

THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT DOM
~Lij: Um... and Dom? Ha-ha-ha. Dom. He likes to suck his thumb. It's true. Has he told you this? He has. He admits it. He's very good about that. So you know that. Is there anything you don't know about Dominic Monaghan. He can only fall asleep lying face down, which isn't even that interesting or funny, but it's the truth.

THINGS DOM HAS SAID ABOUT BILLY
~Are you and Billy a couple?
Dom: Yes!
So that means you're gay?
Dom: No!
Are you bisexual?
Dom: No!
Then what you are you?
Dom: Billysexual!

~I mean, Billy is one of the few people in my life that – even though I really enjoy comedy and I really enjoy watching funny films and stuff like that, it's seldom that I'll really lose my s*** laughing… Really tears coming out my eyes, snot coming out my noise, laughing to the point where you can't really breathe and stuff. Billy can do that. Billy has a really beautiful silliness to him, you know? That would be my main kind of way of describing the way that Billy's funny, is that he has a silliness, and a beautiful kind of innocent, silly body language… A fabricated naļve act that isn't real, because he's a wise guy and he's been around for a long time and he knows how the world works – but he puts on this naļve act which is beautiful. He's definitely one of the funniest guys I've ever met in my life, and I think that's one of the reasons why we spend so much time together, because it's always entertaining. We just smile – which I think is one of the best gifts that you can give to a friend… If you can make them feel good and make them feel up about things.

~ Do you want me to tell you, like, Billy's most used phrase in life? 'I'm tired!'. 'That's me away off home'. I mean we're best friends you know, but... I mean we are literally best friends... but we are complete opposites. He wakes up at 7.30 in the morning you know, 'Hi. Hellooo. How're you doing?' and goes to bed at like, you know 8.30, 9 o'clock at night. Gets in his pyjama's at 7.30 and gets all toastie. I wake up at midday, in a terrible mood because I've just woken up and start to just wake up about 4 in the morning, something like that. So we never really saw each other when we were working you know. On the weekend I don't wake up. By the time .. he's asleep by the time I'm up and getting ready. That's probably why we like each other so much - we come from different ends of the spectrum.

~Billy Boyd's a unique, uh... guy. I'm so... just... blessed to have met him, ya know?

~Billy and I are very, very strongly connected. When we are making each other laugh, I don't see anyone else in the room.

~We spend so much time together. We enjoy each other's company. We're constantly walking up and down the red carpet with an arm around each other and chatting and all that kind of stuff. So the rumours are rife! There was a rumour about Elijah and me that Ian McKellen told us about - we were having an affair in LA! But you know I'm not going to confirm or deny [laughs]. Billy and I do fit like a jigsaw. Still now, three or four years down the line, we'll manage to make each other crack up in tears of laughter... and fascinate each other, which is the perfect relationship. Maybe we will get married in a couple of years! If he was a girl, I'd marry him today! I've been suggesting to Billy a sex change, but he really feels quite manly about things [Billy shouts, "I love women!"]. Yes, he's really passionate about women, as I am.

~He's got quite enchanting eyes. You know how it is with the eclipse? If you keep looking at it for a certain amount of time, you can't stop - you have to keep looking at it. That's like Billy's eyes - if you look at them for more than 20 or 30 seconds, then you're hooked.

~We enjoy drinking pretty much the same amount, which is nice. If you're going to spend a year and a half with someone, it's good if you drink on the same level! Billy and I can keep up with each other, which is essential.

~That's just the kind of thing Pippin would say. That's my Billy. He's so charming - it's like he can do no wrong.

~It's bizarre how the story mirrors our life. It could quite easily have happened that I became a lot closer with you know Viggo, or Orlando, or Ian. When I broke away to do my separate story with Billy, I would, I would always think, 'Oh it's great, but what a shame that I am not with, you know, the one that I feel connected to the most. But it just so happened that I did connect with Bill probably the most.

~It was crucial for the audience to see that there was this complete and utter devotion from the three Hobbits toward Frodo--that we would protect Frodo with our lives. Merry and Pippin have a friendship which borders on mental telepathy. In the same way, Billy and I understood how each other thinks.

~That's true! You do! You stink of Elderberrys and wizards!
