The Beatles once approached Stanley Kubrick to do 'The Lord Of The Rings.' This was before Tolkien sold the rights. They approached him, and he said, 'No.'

From Peter Jackson

I love writing, and I love postproduction. That's great, because you start to reassemble the film, and you sit there, and you start to really put the film together, finally. The shooting of it is the most stressful part of the process.

From Peter Jackson

We're human beings, and we want stories. We're always going to be entertained and have our emotions touched by humanity and by things that we recognize in our own lives. So whilst every now and again we'll be happy to watch a bubblegum film, it's never gonna be the only things that get made.

From Peter Jackson

If justice is supposed to be fair, than any justice system you would hope is based on fairness.

From Peter Jackson

While you're finding evidence of innocence, you also find evidence that points to other people.

From Peter Jackson

You never make movies for Oscars.

From Peter Jackson

I never dreamed in a million years that 'The Lord of the Rings' would be nominated for an Oscar. Those types of fantasy movies never got nominations.

From Peter Jackson

From Peter Jackson

I just got tired of being overweight and unfit, so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yogurt and muesli, and it seems to work.
