'Lord of the Rings' was going on; like, my college years were the years of 'Lord of the Rings,' an awesome time to be in film school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'
I was fascinated by 'The Lord of the Rings' from about the age of eight, and that lasted well into my teens.
Lord of the Rings was something I always wanted to do. I read the book when I was about 25, and I was always hoping if it was ever made into a feature film that I would be involved in some way. And then I finally got it, and I was over the moon. It was fantastic news.
I don't know if I'd ever want to show my college life in the films I make. I think I've passed that stage long ago.
I would definitely line up for 'The Lord of the Rings.' I'm a huge 'Lord of the Rings' geek.
My education was an education by movies.
'Lord of the Rings' was about saving the world, big time, big duties.
Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.
I was quite academic, quite geeky when I was a kid. I was more interested in going to school than I was in becoming a film star or something.
After 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' the films that followed it, instead of having their own unique aesthetic, they all wanted to be 'Lord of the Rings' as opposed to learning from 'Lord of the Rings.'
