I don't believe in the concept that 3D should be shot separately. I mean, every director has their own style, sure, but I don't think any of that is really an issue with 3D.

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

Writing a screen play with a group of collaborators is like the Lennon McCartney collaboration .... sometimes one or two people do more than others on certain parts of the process and vice versa.

To me, fantasy should be as real as possible. I don't buy into the notion that because it's fantastic, it should be unrealistic, because I think you have to have a sense of believing the world that you're going into.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

Rivalry doesn't help anybody.

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