I find that in the process of making a film you're constantly discovering things that you never even imagined would work at the beginning.

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

I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.

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

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 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.

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.
