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

The one thing with 3D presentations is I think that 3D itself, whether it's 24 or 48, is at a very interesting point in time.

Most directors prefer to direct everything themselves. I thought I could on Lord Of The Rings, but very quickly found out that the sheer scale prevented it.

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.

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

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

No film has captivated my imagination more than 'King Kong.' I'm making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old.
