On Lower Budget Things You're Still Working

I Love Playing Real Characters... If They're Not Around Anymore It's Helpful Because You Won't Get Sued! But There's So Much Research Involved And I Love That Part Of The Process.

I'd Already Started Directing Short Films When We Were Doing 'lord Of The Rings,' Then Videogame Projects.

I Love, First Of All, Reading And Discovering What The Common Perception Is And Then Trying To Figure Out... Well, How Does Your Life Cross Over Into That Character, Or What's An Angle On This That Might Challenge The Status Quo? It's Just A Great Journey As Well As An Education. You're Constantly Being Educated - It's Like I'm Back At School And Making Up For Lost Time.

But I Think There's Something Wonderful And Extraordinary About Climbing On Your Own And Just That Kind Of Relationship To The Environment. I'm Very Addicted To The Mountains. You Know, So, I Do Like That Solitude.

We're Live In A World That Has, In Many Ways, Become Desensitized And Unable To Empathize With Other Cultures And Species. The Dangerous Part Is That We Objectify Others And Have Somehow Removed Ourselves, Mentally, From The Very Planet We Inhabit.
