I was shocked when ‘The Hobbit’ ended where it ended. I wasn’t paying attention to what they were doing; I didn’t know they had another movie, and I couldn’t believe it was when the dragon came out.
The producers of ‘The Hobbit’ take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge.
I was the first person in the world to audition for ‘The Hobbit’. The casting director told me that when I went in. That’s a lot of pressure, isn’t it? The first person in the world.
Part of me is nonhuman and eccentric, which is what a hobbit is, and I don’t mind being eccentric.
It was very weird because for a long time no one really recognised me from my films, but ‘The Hobbit’ has totally changed that, and I’ve had some really special moments, especially with youngsters.
‘The Hobbit’ was one of the first biggish books I ever read. I remember vividly the ‘riddles in the dark’ passage, and it meant a lot to me to finally get to play it after all these years.
My first film is coming out, and it’s in 3D, and it’s ‘The Hobbit,’ so it’s a bit weird.
There will only ever be 13 dwarves in ‘The Hobbit’ – and I was one of them. If I had my time again, would I do it? Yeah, I would.
To make three films out of one shortish book, they have to turn it into an epic, just as ‘Lord of the Rings’ is an epic. But ‘The Hobbit’ isn’t an epic: its tone is intimate and personal, and although it’s full of adventures and excitement, they’re on a different scale to those of the bigger book.
I read all of the books by Tolkien, including ‘The Hobbit,’ when I was in my twenties, and his deep love of nature and all things green resonates deeply with me.
The original ‘Hobbit’ was never intended to have a sequel – Bilbo ‘remained very happy to the end of his days and those were extraordinarily long’: a sentence I find an almost insuperable obstacle to a satisfactory link.
I never wanted to do ‘The Hobbit’ in the first place.
To be honest, if people thought my performance in ‘The Office’ was the same as my performance in ‘The Hobbit,’ it would tell me everything I needed to know about what they know about acting.
The learning curve is ‘The Hobbit’ is being shot in 3D.
I read ‘The Hobbit’ but not a single one of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy. I had to lie about this pretty much all through high school. I still say it apologetically.
Coming back from doing ‘The Hobbit,’ you think ‘Sherlock’ is realistic, but of course, it’s not that realistic.
I read a lot of fantasy as a kid. I read ‘The Hobbit’ and all of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ books, but I also read a lot of realism like ‘The Outsiders.’
I read everything that Tolkien wrote, and also read biographies of him. I was fascinated by his experiences in World War I, which includes the loss of life of some of his very, very close friends. I think he writes about that a lot in ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
I want to be in ‘The Hobbit.’ I love fantasy and mythical adventure films. I believe in fairies and angels. I believe in nature’s spirit, that there are other realms, other planets, life forms.
I was a massive Tolkien fan. ‘The Hobbit’ was… my favorite book as a little girl, and the Silvan Elves were my favorite characters in the book.
I think Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens have very carefully plotted ‘The Hobbit’ out so that it does feel like the starting point for ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
I never did a convention before I did ‘The Hobbit.’
As a first movie, ‘The Hobbit’ is not a bad place to start.
‘The Hobbit’ didn’t include female characters at all and was a very linear story, a book for children, really.
Gollum is Gollum – though in ‘Lord of the Rings’ he’s 600 years old and in ‘The Hobbit’ he’s 540, so he looks a little bit more handsome.
The whole atmosphere of the book, the tone of ‘The Hobbit,’ is of a kid’s adventure story, told in the first person by Tolkien, who is introducing young people to the notion of Middle-earth. A lot of it is very light-hearted.
‘The Squickerwonkers’ was the story I wrote when I was on ‘The Hobbit.’ And I brought it to Comic-Con and sold out a thousand copies I had printed.
I think of the ‘Hobbit’ films as being films for the family.
On the surface, you think you wouldn’t have to think at all about being asked to play Bilbo in ‘The Hobbit.’ It’s not prison; it’s a good gig. But you know it’s going to take a long time, and it does. There are times when you thought: ‘Gee, I’ve not seen my house for months.’
I’ve done a couple of castings… I’ve done an audition for ‘The Hobbit.’
I grew up actually reading ‘The Hobbit,’ not ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ I loved ‘The Hobbit’ growing up.

It’s an interesting but useless bit of information that every single character in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ wears a wig, and many of them wears a prosthetic – false ears, feet, hands. In my case, nose.
There are a couple of locations in ‘The Hobbit’ that are shared with ‘Lord of the Rings.’
I read ‘the Hobbit’ at the age when you’re supposed to read it. I didn’t read ‘The Lord Of The Rings.’ My father, who was an English teacher, advised me that once I had read ‘the Hobbit,’ that would be enough. I could then move on to Dostoyevsky.
This little hobbit saves the world. The wizard kills the dragon and saves the town. So many people connect to that character; it doesn’t matter if it’s an elf or a hobbit or a dwarf. It doesn’t matter. They’re human in their heart and soul.
