You never watch movies the same as you do when you're a kid, ever again.

I was not a kid who watched every movie. I watched a very small number of movies over and over again.

Truth is, I don't like movies that are only good once; I tend to dismiss them. I like movies that get better the more you watch them.

The average movie-goer in this country sees six films in a year. That's one every two months. What the studios are trying to do is make sure it's their movie.

If we just made one movie, 'The Hobbit,' the fact is that all the fans, the eight-, nine- and 10-year-old boys, they would watch it 1,000 times. Now, they've got three films they can watch 1,000 times.

There are some people who cannot watch every film because of age. They might watch only three films in a year.

I hardly ever go to the movies.

I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.

The first time you watch a movie that you like, all of the magic works on you. It's an experience of having a world unfold in front of you. But if you watch it again, you start to see where the seams are.
