Elijah can register such subtle emotion on his face that I loved doing close-ups on him. He really brings a superb emotional level to Frodo's scenes and although he is a very instinctive actor, we discussed the character thoroughly.

The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.

To his ex-wife in court, he said I lost interest in you when the Botox lost its effect and you looked like a plastic doll that escaped from a fire.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.
