Orlando Bloom

Think about finding out when you're 13 that your dad is not your dad. It's like, okay, take it on the chin and keep going. No choice, really.

Attraction doesn't stop when a child is born. It's the opposite. Being a mum and dad makes you even sexier.

When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.

People think getting a new partner is like getting a new car.

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.

My mom used to tell me, 'If you read 50 books, I'll get you a motorbike.'

I've never been a great one for technology.

Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.

I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.

People come into your life and people leave it... you just have to trust that life has a road mapped out for you.

When I finished the trilogy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, I had a gear shift and thought, 'I need to take a moment to smell the roses.'

I generally travel with my laptop, a couple of great books, and my iPod.

I have flown with British Airways since I was a very little child, so it feels quite special to have gone from family holidays flying around Europe to become a gold card holder and be spoiled enough to travel more than not in first class.

Yeah, I'm kind of fit. And I'm quite careful about my diet.

Success can allow you to try for greatness, can give you an opportunity to take a chance on something. I'm very blessed to have the success that I've had, and that's given me so many opportunities to work on being great.
