I would definitely line up for 'The Lord of the Rings.' I'm a huge 'Lord of the Rings' geek.

I was always a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I was in the 'Lord of the Rings' club and all my cool friends made fun of me.

I was fascinated by 'The Lord of the Rings' from about the age of eight, and that lasted well into my teens.

A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'

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'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.

'Lord of the Rings' was a set of books in which the world had been conceived before the characters were placed within that context.

I was someone who really loved fantasy novels and science fiction novels.

'The Lord of the Rings,' published in the mid-1950s, was intended as a prehistory to our own world. It was perceived by Tolkien to be a small but significant episode in a vast alternate mythology constructed entirely out of his own imagination.
