I happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.

'Star Wars' or 'The Lord of the Rings' deal with great big Joseph Campbell-style myths, good and evil.

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.

I'd already started directing short films when we were doing 'Lord of the Rings,' then videogame projects.

I think 'The Lord Of The Rings' is the mother of all cult books, because you can be in that cult and not even know you're in it.

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

I hadn't grown up with 'The Hobbit;' I hadn't grown up with 'Lord of The Rings,' anything like that.

I would love to live in 'The Lord of the Rings.' J. R. R. Tolkien's world is so vivid and rich and sensual. I love the country setting and the routine of the hobbits. Of course, I would like to be a hobbit who goes on small adventures - not huge, horrifying ones like Frodo's quest.

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

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