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.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.

I am a big Dragon fan. I've said it before- And I was fortunate enough to be born a Dragon in the Chinese Horocope.

I want to make movies just like "King Kong." You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.

I regard myself as an entertainer much more than an artist.

The vast majority of the CGI budget is labor.

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.
