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

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

In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.

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.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay small acts of kindness and love.

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