Elijah Wood in The Guardian Q & A:
“What would your super power be?
At a restaurant once, I noticed that the waitress – a beautiful waitress – had a nose that, when she was growing up, maybe people picked on her for. But it was a defining feature and made her unique. It would be an amazing super power to be able to make every person you meet feel better about the thing that makes them insecure.”
If offered a super power, I would still choose flying (superman-style, or like Nathan Petrelli in Heroes), but if flying wasn’t an option, the above would be a very cool second choice.
