I don't believe in the concept that 3D should be shot separately. I mean, every director has their own style, sure, but I don't think any of that is really an issue with 3D.

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.

Remember, pain is temporary; film is forever.

If you work at love, you will find love at work.

Everybody's life has these moments, where one thing leads to another. Some are big and obvious and some are small and seemingly insignificant.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.

Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.

Every film is a challenge. I always say that making a movie is like film school - you're always learning. But unlike most schools, you never get done with it. You never learn everything.

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

I know that being an in-house person is much, much harder than being outside...that's why I've never had a job.

Every decision in government is so important, especially when it comes to the military where thousands of people can lose their lives.

You will find out that in the measure you have allowed yourself to look back you have missed that which God has for you.

What will your children remember? Moments spent listening, talking, playing and sharing together may be the most important times of all.

You will never be admired without being criticized first.

Ahh, Earth Day, the only day of the year where being able to hacky-sack will get you laid.

When anything bad happens to me or someone I know, I always know who to blame. My no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.

What I hope is that I don't just become 'Peter from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.' I want to try and do something else to be a good actor and a respected actor.
