What is the truth is that every one of my films is a film that I'd love to go see, and I think that's very important because I always think it's a mistake to make movies for other people, or to make them for a demographic, or try to second guess an audience.

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

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.

Rivalry doesn't help anybody.

The one thing with 3D presentations is I think that 3D itself, whether it's 24 or 48, is at a very interesting point in time.

The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.

Defeat is always momentary.
