• On horror: I don’t take stuff seriously. I saw Hellraiser III the other day at Cannes; it’s okay, it’s a good film, I didn’t hate it or anything. I thought it was quite good, but it was all just so serious. Some guy walking round with pins sticking out of his face. I just can’t sit there and think, “This is really scary.” If I made a Hellraiser film, I’d like Pinhead to be whacked against a wall and have all the pins flattened into his face. I immediately start thinking of funny things and gags – that’s just the way I am. I doubt I could ever control myself sufficiently to make a serious horror film.
• [on “The Lord of the Rings”]: This is a giant undertaking, but I consider this a personal film. It’s my film of a lifetime. I read the book when I was 18 years old and thought then, “I can’t wait till the movie comes out.” Twenty years later, no one had done it – so I got impatient.
