Quote

Writing a screen play with a group of collaborators is like the Lennon McCartney collaboration .... sometimes one or two people do more than others on certain parts of the process and vice versa.

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

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 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
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
In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.
Peter Jackson
Image
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.
Peter Jackson
Image
I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.
Peter Jackson
Image
There's a generation of children who don't like black and white movies. There's a level of impatience or intolerance.
Peter Jackson
Image
I was bullied and regarded as little bit of an oddball myself.
Peter Jackson
Image
As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.
Peter Jackson
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.
Peter Jackson
Image
Motion-capture is not a genre. Motion-capture is a tool and technique and what we tried to do was to really use both motion-capture and traditional animation to build a system.
Peter Jackson
Image
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.
Peter Jackson
Image
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.
Peter Jackson
Image
Everything is in a script for a reason, and only by being part of a writing team (or writing it yourself), do you really understand the intention of every beat.
Peter Jackson
Image
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Peter Jackson
Image
A pregnant woman is like a beautiful flowering tree, but take care when it comes time for the harvest that you do not shake or bruise the tree, for in doing so, you may harm both the tree and its fruit.
Peter Jackson

I don't like putting glasses on and watching 3D. I don't mind wearing glasses, but it's the dimness of the light and the fact that you're filtering the light. Whatever 3D process is being used is a filtration of light, which means it's blocking some of the light.

When I start a film, I can sort of shut my eyes, sit somewhere quiet and imagine the movie finished. I can imagine the camera angles, I can even imagine the type of music. Without knowing the tune, I can imagine the type of music it needs to be.

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