New Zealand is not used to wealth. In America wealth is kind of a thing of pride. Here it's the opposite. The more you've got, the bigger the target you are.

If you work at love, you will find love at work.
Peter Jackson

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
Peter Jackson
Image
I want to make a series of movies that run together, so if any crazy lunatic wants to watch them all in a row, there will be a consistency of tone.
Peter Jackson
Image
To me, fantasy should be as real as possible. I don't buy into the notion that because it's fantastic, it should be unrealistic, because I think you have to have a sense of believing the world that you're going into.
Peter Jackson
Image
The one thing with 3D presentations is I think that 3D itself, whether it's 24 or 48, is at a very interesting point in time.
Peter Jackson
Image
He who must search a haystack for a needle is likely to end up with the attitude that the needle is not worth the search.

You shouldn't think of these movies as being 'The Lord of the Rings.' The Lord of the Rings is, and always will be, a wonderful book - one of the greatest ever written. Any films will only ever be an INTERPRETATION of the book. In this case my interpretation.

I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.

Image
To people in my industry I'm usually a guy that tries to generate his own projects and I remain very elusive when people try and attach me to big projects.
Peter Jackson
Image
When you're directing, you're right at the coal face, always exhausted, often emotional - and I'll enjoy being a couple of steps back from that and simply helping where I can.
Peter Jackson
Image
And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.
Peter Jackson

No film has captivated my imagination more than 'King Kong.' I'm making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old.
Peter Jackson
Image
The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.
Peter Jackson
Image
Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.
Peter Jackson
Image
The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson
Image
As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.
Peter Jackson
Image
I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.
Peter Jackson
Image
Every film is a challenge. I always say that making a movie is like film school - you're always learning. But unlike most schools, you never get done with it. You never learn everything.
Peter Jackson
Image
I think that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' films are fantastic. What he's done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.
Peter Jackson
Image
I regard myself as being the final filter so everything that ends up in the movie is there because it's something that I think was cool.
