"Elves are eternal in their thinking and their being, so a love story [between Legolas and Tauriel] would almost belittle the idea of what the relationship would be. Their connection is a very deep elven feeling that’s done more in looks than in words. I always imagined if elves were to make love, they’d probably be tantric lovers. Because if you’re living forever, you’re not in a hurry."
