the-hobbit:

“It’s very easy working with Richard. What Pete said about what he brings to Thorin is partly what he brings as a person. He has quiet determination. He respects himself, and others, and he respects others’ ways of working, but he holds onto this very strong core of himself. He’s about the least arrogant person you could wish to meet. He’s very self-deprecating and he’s always up for what you’re going to bring to the scene.”

Martin Freeman on Richard Armitage
