More quotes by Peter Jackson
I adore physical miniatures and try to use them as much as I can and have a bit of a fetish about that.
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
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.
Peter Jackson
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.
Peter Jackson
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.
Peter Jackson
If you work at love, you will find love at work.
Peter Jackson
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
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.
Peter Jackson
I was bullied and regarded as little bit of an oddball myself.
Peter Jackson
The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.
Peter Jackson
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.
Peter Jackson
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Peter Jackson
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
For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
Peter Jackson
The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.
Peter Jackson
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
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.
Peter Jackson
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
Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.
Peter Jackson
I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.
Peter Jackson
