Quotes by Billy

Random musings:
"Please, please... would some woman come and kiss me?"_ from an SMTV interview... does he even need to ask?

"Growing up, I just wanted to travel through time or be a Jedi._ That's why I wanted to be an actor! I didn't want to explore anything or make anyone look inside themselves. I just wanted to have a hover board."

"There's no life. There's nothing. I live in a pond. I've been doing a little bit of brick laying and driving a gritter for the council. It's been good fun over the past year or so."_ about life after Lord of the Rings.

"I need a hug!"

"And it was my birthday as well._ I'd just turned 30 that day._ So we had champagne on the flight._ And when we got to L.A., because of the time difference, it was my birthday again, so we had more champagne."_ Billy on his flight to New Zealand with Orli.

"Yes, my mind is pickled."_ When he's blitzed that is, hence the nickname "Pickle."

"Sweet Jesus, I'm feart!"_ Regarding the message boards on his official site.

The_ Academy Awards in general:
"I just hope they don't miss Pete._ I think it really would be a travesty if he's not seen as an incredible director. And I think The Return of the King is probably the best screenplay I've ever read. It's incredible. It's so emotional."

The truth about the 2002 Academy Awards:
"I went over to do some work on the DVD._ To do some interviews for it, and some commentary... I was doing that and some other business things not associated with 'Lord of the Rings.'_ I don't know if that's allowed, but I was... also I was over for the Screen Actors' Guild Awards."

"The Oscars, to be very technical about it, had been moved to a new location this year that was a smaller location and had less seats._ So basically the only people who were allowed were people who were nominated - Ian McKellen, Pete Jackson, etc._ And Pete took Elijah as a guest, which I thought was great... The rest of us knew we weren't going."

Screen Actors' Guild Awards:
"Pete wasn't there but he came on to someone's cell phone and so we all spoke to him from the table._ And I was just pretending that I was trying to kiss Nicole Kidman and he was like, 'Well, you should.'_ And I said, 'Well, I can't reach!'_ It was a fun night._ Really good."

On the Empire Awards:
"**** Empire!_ You had to give Best Debut to Mr. Cheekbones, didn't ya?!"_ His co-star Orlando Bloom won that one!

On his "Lord of the Rings" co-stars:
Dom, "This is my second breakfast."_ Billy, "You see what he's done there._ See what he's done?"_ [cut to second breakfast conversation between Pippin and Aragorn from Fellowship]_ "He's brought life and the movie, together._ Like here we have coomera and bacon, together._ Me and Dom, we're out, together, [laughs] but not like that!"

"That's the thing about Elijah._ He's got the biggest eyes you've ever seen, but they don't work."

"Someone told us that children reading novels has also gone up 20 percent. Also, Dom is 20 percent more handsome than he was when he started the movie."

"Dom's an idiot."

"I loved 'The Goonies,' and 'The Ice Storm' for Elijah._ One time coming back to New Zealand from England, I was in a hotel and jet-lagged and forgot I'd asked Sean to get me a copy of 'Rudy' because I never saw it._ And I was in tears at four in the morning!_ I called him Rudy for months after that."

"In a technical way, that meant that there was no acting required of the Hobbits' friendship._ It meant you could concentrate on the scenes and not worry about acting like friends because we were already best mates."

"I just think of myself as a friend._ A good friend._ A good friend who might camp in your garden!"_ Regarding Sean Astin's comment about Billy being a stalker.

"I liked Peter Jackson the moment I met him," he recalls. "He was just so laid back. We were in a casting agent's office and there was Peter - dressed, as usual, in shorts and without shoes - sitting on a sofa with Fran Walsh. They were both so relaxed with me that it was easy to be relaxed with them and to be open about what I wanted to bring to the character of Pippin."

On filming "Lord of the Rings":
"I can't believe the kind of passion people have for these movies, and the books beforehand. And it seems a real genuine thing. It's great to hear that people are so moved by it that it changes something in their life."

Working as a bookbinder, "I had put covers on 'The Lord of the Rings,' but I never read it._ It was just too big._ I finally read it when I knew I was playing Pippin and realized that really it is all about Pippin and some other people!"_ From Who Weekly Magazine, January 2002

"The rain came through so you were walking around in puddles of cold water._ I remember doing one night shoot when my feet never felt so uncomfortable._ I was almost in tears._ It was quite a relief when they called a wrap."_

"To play one of the main characters in it, it's not like the kind of thing you don't do._ Oh, I'd rather not play Pippin in 'Lord of the Rings"... 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.__

"Hobbits are a lot like Scots._ It's all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing."_

"Pippin is an individual, he has a lot of spontaneity._ He also sees life from a slightly different angle than most people."_

"Although Pippin has never left The Shire," says Billy Boyd, "he is a Took and comes from a family that is known for being a bit adventurous and likely to fly off the handle and do things that other hobbits would consider to be not quite hobbit-like._ What's more, Pippin does have a habit of doing the wrong things at the wrong time!_ Although, to be fair, as the story develops, we see Pippin going through all kinds of experiences and becoming more mature.

"We had like six weeks of training, from sword fencing to canoeing, and going to the gym - getting that hobbit physique!"_

"We, we didn't, but I've got an amazing control, you learn that in drama school._ I can go three weeks without a pee!"_ When asked by Cliff (aka Quickbeam from TORn) if they (Billy and Dom) were given bottles to pee in while sitting atop of Treebeard filming "The Two Towers._

"Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read the book, I was on holiday in Florida._ I dropped it in the pool my first day there._ If that's not a Pippin thing to do, I don't know what is."_ When asked if he could relate to his character, Pippin._
