Quote

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay small acts of kindness and love.

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.

Fantasy is an 'F' word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with.

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.

The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson

I want to make movies just like King Kong. You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.

It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.

I am a big Dragon fan. I've said it before- And I was fortunate enough to be born a Dragon in the Chinese Horocope.

I was bullied and regarded as little bit of an oddball myself.

[While shooting close-ups] you study real eyes, you study how the light reflects in them, you study the back of the eye, you study the way irises reflect emotion. You go into great scientific detail.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.

I think that you can treat a classic like a museum piece -stuffed and mounted- or you can make it a living, breathing narrative that is unfolding right then and there.
