“I want to put everything I think I've learned about filmmaking and sto...” — Peter Jackson Quote

“I want to put everything I think I've learned about filmmaking and storytelling and put it to the test in other areas.”

“When you look at the original 'Paradise Lost' film, you see three kids who can't defend themselves, being persecuted in a medieval way - witchcraft, satanic worship. It was kind of primitive.”

“When I worked as a newspaper photo engraver in the only job I ever had, many years ago, I'd get the train home to Pukerua Bay where I was staying with my parents. An hour ride, 16 stops, and almost always, I'd have automatic wake-up, seconds before we pulled into my station.”

“I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that.”

“That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.”

“When I work on my own stuff - and I think this is true for anybody - but when you work on something that you just completely own, you are trying to stay as true to your own storytelling voice as you can.”
