Cinema Quote by Elijah Wood

“I think God gave me a talent to use for the positive and to do an horror movie would be, like, overstepping my bounds. If I was to do a horror film, I wouldn't want to be paid. It would be like a vacation, because you don't really have to use your acting skills.” quote by Elijah Wood — Download Open image
