I'm a really big 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I have all the extended editions.

I would definitely line up for 'The Lord of the Rings.' I'm a huge 'Lord of the Rings' geek.

Man, I love the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.

Lord of the Rings made me realize that I'm not interested in doing anyone else's work.

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.

A whole new career opened up for me when I was in 'Lord Of The Rings' and 'Star Wars.'

In terms of the movie business, being in a 'Lord of the Rings' has given me more interesting options as work.

'Lord Of The Rings' fandom was massive, worldwide, entrenched. Generally it had been part of the fans' life all their life, because they had it read to them as children; they'd become Tolkien students.

All my favorite books and movies are franchises like 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings,' so that was always the dream, that maybe I'll get to write a series of my own.

My first score for 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' was the beginning of my journey into the world of Tolkien, and I will always hold a special fondness for the music and the experience.
