What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies.

To his ex-wife in court, he said I lost interest in you when the Botox lost its effect and you looked like a plastic doll that escaped from a fire.

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

People call Kong "a monster." He's not. There's nothing evil about Kong. He's just another creature who has opened up a little bit of his heart to Ann and it proves to be his undoing.

When you're directing, you're right at the coal face, always exhausted, often emotional - and I'll enjoy being a couple of steps back from that and simply helping where I can.

I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.

The vast majority of the CGI budget is labor.
