I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, 'You make your own luck.'

The process of making a movie is what I love. I thrive on that. It's an exciting miracle, a mad adventure. I love being part of it

I just keep pinching myself that that's my wife.

Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

I love it. I hate that word (fatherhood), but I love being a father; it's changed everything in so many ways.

Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
