Martin Freeman

"Like any friendship or marriage, familiarity breeds more contempt, and love, and everything."

"I think people just like seeing friendship. I think people like seeing people who just drive each other up the wall, but at same time, can't live without each other."

"I think what 'The Hobbit' and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship... so they're things that do resonate with people."
