 Peter Jackson Quotation"New Zealand is not a small country but a large village." "What I don't like are pompous, pretencious movies" [talking about "Meet the Feebles"] "I have a moronic sense of humour" [about Horror] "I don't take stuff seriously. I saw 'Hellraiser 3' the other day at Cannes; it's OK, it's a good film, I didn't hate it or anything. I thought it was quite good, but it was all just so serious. Some guy walking round with pins sticking out of his face. I just can't sit there and think 'This is really scar'. If I made a Hellraiser film, I'd like Pinhead to be whacked against a wall and have all the pins flattened into his face. I immediately start thinking of funny things and gags - that's just the way I am. I doubt I could ever control myself sufficiently to make a serious horror film." [on The Lord of the Rings:] "This is a giant undertaking, but I consider this a personal film. It's my film of a lifetime. I read the book when I was 18 years old and thought then, 'I can't wait till the movie comes out.' Twenty years later, no one had done it — so I got impatient." "Return of The King is the most enjoyable because in the structure of the movies, it is nothing other than pay-off, there is no more setting up to do, no more exposition, no more introducing characters. The pay-off is very character-based. It is action-orientated as well, but all of our characters have been pushed to a point where their life and death depends on what happens in the third movie. It is very emotional, and from an actors point of view it is very enjoyable to work on, because they were able to play some pretty intense drama. From my point of view it was always great, because we were heading toward an ending, a climax which we never had in the other two" "Looking back, I think we were a bit naive. At the beginning I don't think anybody had any idea how difficult or complicated it would be. We somehow went into it thinking we could do it. And then we've stumbled along just taking each day at a time." - on making Lord Of The Rings "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. He got ILM started and they developed all the computer technology we use. George Lucas is incredible - he has made a huge difference to the way films are made now. And he has used his money on things that benefit every filmmaker who gets films produced. I respect that a lot." "To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that. But the Lord Of The Rings films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience." "I always trusted him. If there was a way that I had seen something and he had seen it differently, I would ... trust his vision. We were in brilliant hands." -- Elijah Wood on filming "Lord of the Rings," December 14, 2003 Movie Title: The 61st Annual Golden Globe Awards (2004) as Peter Jackson: Peter Jackson : I didn't realize that seven years in this movie would turn me into a hobbit. Movie Title: Bad Taste (1987) as Derek: Derek : Stick all the bits of brain in a plastic bag, Barry. Derek : Suck my spinning steel, shithead! Derek : I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run! Derek : Stay where you are then, and I'll give you an eye witness description of this, intergalatic wanker! Derek : The headshot's the only true stopper. Derek : There's no glowing fingers on these bastards. |
