One does not simply walk into Mordor.
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
Image
Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.
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
Image
The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.

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

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

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.

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.

As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.

I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.
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 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
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 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
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
[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.
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

Most directors prefer to direct everything themselves. I thought I could on Lord Of The Rings, but very quickly found out that the sheer scale prevented it.
