I remember someone saying to me, there's this offer come in for you to go and play an elf in New Zealand.

And they said, oh, it's from the Lord of the Rings.

I went, oh, someone's making the Lord of the Rings.

I stopped speaking and they said, yeah, you don't want to do that, do you?

They didn't realize why I wasn't speaking.

I, uh, read in the magazines that you play golf.

I played Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator.

It was about Howard Hughes, and they obviously had a very public, although they tried to keep it clandestine, love affair.

I remember I was working on a Western with Ron Howard.

I had just had a baby and my eldest was learning to walk in the snow and it was kind of idyllic and I was riding out with Marlborough men every day and it doesn't get much better than this.

And then I got a call saying that Martin Scorsese was trying to get hold of me.

He had a script he wanted to send me and I nearly buckled at the knees.

I think I was so nervous talking to him because I knew whatever it was he was asking me to do,

And then it was to play Katharine Hepburn.

I went, OK, this is the end of my career.

The film will be amazing because he's, you know, he's the maestro.

I remember the first time I saw Sylvia Scarlet and I was just blown away and then seeing Philadelphia's story and all of those fantastic screwball comedies.

Conner. I'm just his faithful old dog, Trey.

If you had any idea the crap that people carry around on their hands.

Well, the first thing is you have to attack the most obvious parts of the character, like the way they move, the way they speak, which was so distinctive with Hepburn.

But then the most important thing is you've got to say to the director, what's the world that I'm entering?

Because this is not a film about Katharine Hepburn.

I had to fit into that the story that he was telling.

The way he said to me, you look great, blonde.

You can just be blonde and you don't have to sound like her.

I mean, gosh, your voice was so annoying, you know, or, you know, he was just trying to make me feel better.

And it was so liberating that he said that to me because it just removed any residual feeling that I would have to get it right.

I'm playing a character in a Martin Scorsese film.

But the wonderful thing that Scorsese does, and I'm sure he does it with all of his films, is that he screened a set of films that had an energy to how he wanted me to play the character.

So he screened about four or five different films that gave us a tone and a texture and a world in which to play.

He wanted the first entry of Hepburn into the story to sort of knock your head back.

Follow through is everything in golf, just like life.

In the same way that she must have done that with audiences the first time they'd seen her, the energy that she brought on to screen.

I adore the theater, only alive on stage.

We'll see some Ibsen, if the Republicans haven't outlawed him by now.

But what was, when I saw the film, what I love seeing was obviously when Hepburn and Howard Hughes are broken up and he's locked himself in his screening room.

And obviously when I played that scene with Leo, he was on the other side of the door.

So I never saw his side of it, just what I imagined, because even his voice was so painful to listen to.

And then to see the visual on the other side was really heartbreaking.

I mean, I was there to work with Peter Jackson.

I was such a huge fan of his work and his reverence and his, you know, his love of kind of the ugly side of things.

And it was so funny, you know, as well as being so revolting and creepy.

And so imagining his sensibility on those stories, which were sort of like a holy grail of a certain aspect of the, you know, the literary canon.

I thought, this is going to be really, because you have to ask yourself when you're adapting something so beloved and that has such a particular and special place for people, why, what are you going to do with it?

But who could have known that it would have taken off in the way that it did?

First voice, the very first thing we hear.

It began with the forging of the great rings.

Three were given to the elves, immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings.

I think it was in the original scripts, but I don't think I fully computed that it would be the first thing.

Because when you first pick up a script to read it, you're reading the story.

They were all very interested in, which I found really exciting, the fact that in order to become a force for good or positive strength, you have to have confronted the darkness within.

And so they were very interested, even though I don't think the book necessarily leans into that heavily, although they found their Tolkien justifications for it.

They were interested in the small way, you know, the bit that I'm in, teasing apart the idea of the darkness that could have been unleashed in her, that she too has been tempted by the ring.
