Ian Holm's quotes
- [on his Hobbit feet in the Lord of the Rings films] These things are like boats with toes.
- While shooting in Mexico, all conversation was dominated by bowels. During filming, if you'll pardon the expression, you're frightened to fart.
- I've always been a minimalist. It was Bogart [Humphrey Bogart] who once said, "If you think the right thoughts, the camera will pick it up." The most important thing in the face is the eyes, and if you can make the eyes talk, you're halfway there.
- I'm completely amazed by the reaction that the films have had. I get a lot of fan mail addressed to Bilbo and sometimes Sir Bilbo. It's hardly ever addressed to Ian Holm."
- I had a brother who alas went off to fight for his country, and died of cancer before it was fashionable.
