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

I think there's still a little bit of that 9 year-old in me and I'm pretty happy.

I was bullied and regarded as little bit of an oddball myself.

There's a generation of children who don't like black and white movies. There's a level of impatience or intolerance.

No matter how many great performances or exciting visuals we put together for the movie, we found that it was all somewhat two dimensional until we added the emotional heart of Howard Shore's music. Then, and only then, did the film come to life.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay small acts of kindness and love.

Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.
