Actors are the only people on this planet who make a living by being someone else. The better they are at being someone else, the more famous they are. Yet this fame seems to somehow imply that they're famous for who they really are, and then they go and say stupid stuff like this.

My favorite what when wasisname - Aragorn - went and gave a whiny speech about how war is never the answer. After watching a sound bite on the news, I realized that I liked this speech better:
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
