I never liked Gandalf the White as much as Gandalf the Grey, and I never liked him coming back. I think it would have been an even stronger story if Tolkien had left him dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Gandalf the Grey was always the guy I prefer. Gandalf the White was driven to do a particular job, whereas Gandalf the Grey is a bit more humane.
I don't have Gandalf the White's certainty about everything.
Will I miss Gandalf? Well, I don't miss him, because people are constantly coming up to me mentioning him and talking about him, so I don't feel that I've lost contact.
I'd never read 'Lord of the Rings' until I was asked to play Gandalf, so I didn't really know it was a frightfully famous book.
Gandalf saves the world and saves the soul of the world, really.
Gandalf's a good guy, and it's a good part. He says the right things, he believes the right things. An actor can have fun with it.
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.
Without Merlin, there would be no Gandalf, so I see them as the same thing, one a continuation of the other.
Gandalf is in Middle-earth to keep an eye on everybody, and that can be a rather serious matter.
Gandalf is ever-present in my life. I like it.
