I’d like to win a Booker Prize for writing. A Nobel Peace Prize for my work in peace… and I think that’ll probably do.

Billy Boyd

The club thing is a world people can associate with, letting your hair down at the weekend.

Hair People Weekend
He [Viggo Mortensen] was standing behind the camera throwing the apples … And I’ve never seen him so happy.
BILLY BOYD

Apples Cameras Throwing
The innocent on a quest, the pretender, an inanimate object that holds evil – it’s really strange that these themes are there in so many different countries’ folklore.

Countries Different Inanimate Incoent Pretender
Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It’s all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing.
BILLY BOYD

Country Enjoying Land Scots
I think Scotland has some great stories.

Country Stories Thinking
I think once you get it in your head, that you’re not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.
BILLY BOYD

Bigger Ethos Thinking
For me, what makes great actors, always is how truthful they are to the character and the story and the emotion that they’re trying to tell.

Character Emotion Stories Trying
I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I’d like to direct rather than act.

Acting Script Thinking
Sometimes the songs you think will be best don’t turn out to be best.
BILLY BOYD

Sometimes Song Thinking
I was probably about fourteen I think, and probably like every boy who’s fourteen that writes a song, it was about a girl. It was about a girl who I really liked, but she didn’t like me as much as I liked her. I think most guys go through that.
BILLY BOYD

Girl Much Really Song Writing
In fact, I’m trying to think – what else would you rather do, you know? I can’t actually think of another job that I’d rather do.
BILLY BOYD

Character God Play Trying
To play one of the main characters in it, it’s not the kind of thing you don’t do. Oh, I’d rather not play Pippin in Lord of the Rings…
BILLY BOYD

Character Jobs Thinking
I think I have a gift… but I haven’t really opened that gift yet and given it to myself.
BILLY BOYD

Given Havens Thinking
Acting, music, painting… it’s very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.
BILLY BOYD

Acting Actors Thinking
I like people like Ani DiFranco, a band called Elbow, of course John Lennon, George Harrison, Barry White. I have a lot of different influences and hopefully they all come together and make some sense.
BILLY BOYD

Influence People Together White
A lot of ideas took us to dead ends or we found the tone wasn’t just right. I think we discovered very quickly this wasn’t just a song to end The Battle of the Five Armies – it was a song to say goodbye to Middle-earth.
