Liv Tyler - Arwen
New York, USA, October 2003
What are your memories of
first getting the role of Arwen ?
I was like, "Oh my godness, what am I getting myself into ? Will they like
me ? How the hell will I be able to speak Elvis ?!"
What is your character's
defining moment ?
Finally getting to be with her sweet love Aragorn after so much waiting.
What is your fondest memory
of New Zealand ?
The sweetness of the people and their true enthusiasm for the films. And (herbalist)
Margaret Hema's facials and products.
Describe Peter Jackson in
three words.
Kind, strong, Hobbit !
Why do you think Rings has
been so successful ?
I don't think I'm good at answering questions like
this.
Are your Rings colleagues
going to be friends for life ?
Yes, absolutely. Hopefully I will be able to keep in touch with every one.
Though I have the biggest soft spot for Orlando, my little Elvin brother. And I
adore Fran (Walsh) and Philippa (Boyens), the extraordinary
writers and my inspiration for all of Arwen.
What's your favourite piece
of Lord Of The Rings memorabilia ?
My Elvin sword that Peter and Fran gave to me when I wrapped the films. Though
I'm still waiting for it to get through customs.
What was the toughest thing
you had to do ?
Act with a pink golf ball instead of other actors. And learning to ride horses.
How does it feel to say
goodbye ?
In some ways it feels like graduating from high school for me. I feel emotional
and scared of what comes next. Though I feel excited, after four years of hard
work, to move on with my life. And take what I have learned as an actress and a
person and apply it to the future.
