Peter Jackson has just really earned the right to be Tolkien's torchbearer on screen.

'The Hobbit' didn't include female characters at all and was a very linear story, a book for children, really.

I'm a pretty skeptical person, and I'm a realistic person.

In high school, people wanted to find the worst in me.

I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.

Somebody could take a picture of me from across the room, and I would feel like I wanted to rip their face off.

I've had to find my sanity.

I've been careful what I've put my name to.

I'm not a girl who needs to put on a whole face of make-up before I leave the house.

There are so many roles on TV that I don't covet. I see them, and I'm glad I don't have to play them.
