Everybody's life has these moments, where one thing leads to another. Some are big and obvious and some are small and seemingly insignificant.

And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.

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

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.

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

I want to make movies just like "King Kong." You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.

The vast majority of the CGI budget is labor.
