Peter Jackson - biography

“I think that George Lucas’ ‘Star Wars’ films are fantastic.  What he’s done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.”

“To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that.  But the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience.”

“New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.”
