People sort of accuse Tolkien of not being good with female characters, and I think that Eowyn actually proves that to be wrong to some degree. Eowyn is actually a strong female character, and she's a surprisingly modern character, considering who Tolkien actually was sort of a stuffy English professor in the 1930s and '40s.

In the old days, you cut out a scene that might've been a really great scene, and no one was ever going to see it ever again. Now, with DVD, you can obviously... there's a lot of possibilities for scenes that are good scenes.
- Energy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to keep an open mind, but I do think there is some form of energy that exists separate to our flesh and blood. I do think that there's some kind of an energy that leaves the body when it dies, but I certainly don't have religious beliefs particularly.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.
- Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not anti-media at all. But the media, the news anywhere in the world, is based on drama.
- Push
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.

Second movies are great because you can drop into them, and it doesn't really have a beginning on it, particularly in a traditional way. You can just tear into it.

- Garden
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I fell in love with stories watching a British television puppet show called 'Thunderbirds' when it first came out on TV, about 1965, so I would have been 4 or 5 years old. I went out into the garden at my mom and dad's house, and I used to play with my little dinky toys, little cars and trucks and things.

Learning how to edit movies was a real breakthrough.

- Being Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you take a regular animated film, that's being done by animators on computers, so the filmmaking is a fairly technical process.
- Look

To direct a genuinely animated film, you're really having meetings and discussing what you want with animators who then go off and produce one shot at a time that you look at and comment on.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never overtly analyse my own movies, I don't think that's my job to do that. I just muddle through and do what I think is best for the movie.
- King

- Nov 07, 2020
'The Return Of The King' has a conclusion.
- Come
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just think that we're living in a world where the technology is advancing so rapidly. You're having cameras that are capable of more and more - the resolution on cameras is jumping up.
- Age
- |

- Fall
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Too often, you see film makers from other countries who have made interesting, original films, and then they come here and get homogenized into being hack Hollywood directors. I don't want to fall into that.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a freedom that's incredibly valuable. Obviously my freedom is far smaller in scale than people like Zemeckis and Spielberg have here. But it's comparable. I can dream up a project, develop it, make it, control it, release it.

The Tolkien estate owns the writings of Professor Tolkien. 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' were sold by Professor Tolkien in the late '60s, the film rights.

The producers of 'The Hobbit' take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge.

- Depending
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obviously, with a CGI character, you're building a character in much the same way as a real creature is built. You build the bones, the skeletons, the muscles. You put layers of fat on. You put a layer of skin on which has to have a translucency, depending on what the character is.
- Film

- Nov 07, 2020
Anything you can imagine, you can put on film.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' films are fantastic. What he's done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.
- Doubt
- |

What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies.
- King
- |

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.

- Image
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There was a great magazine in the '80s called 'Cinemagic' for home moviemakers who liked to do monster and special effects movies. It was like a magazine written just for me.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
