When I was playing Gandalf, I didn't think, 'Oh my dear, I'm playing a 7,000 year old wizard,' because I've never met one, and I don't know what they're like.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Gandalf is ever-present in my life. I like it.
I'd like to be Gandalf for a day - he's so wise, he's so powerful, and he's so caring. I love Gandalf. When they remake 'Lord of The Rings,' maybe I'll play it.
I'm fortunate to be famous for two rather imposing characters like Magneto and Gandalf.
There are people who've enjoyed my work in the theater, and they let me know that it was special for them. I'm not going to say, 'Well, you should have seen me as Gandalf!'
Gandalf is in Middle-earth to keep an eye on everybody, and that can be a rather serious matter.
I often get mistaken for Dumbledore. One wizard is very much like another.
Without Merlin, there would be no Gandalf, so I see them as the same thing, one a continuation of the other.
Gandalf saves the world and saves the soul of the world, really.
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'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.
