I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in 'Heavenly Creatures.'

When you walk onto a Peter Jackson set, you can see straightaway that money isn't an issue.

Believe me, there is nothing more rewarding than making Peter Jackson chuckle.

It's either because of the number of times the scholar puts the boot into Peter Jackson [the director of The Lord of the Rings films] or is making a point they have never heard of.

Stephen Daldry would be a director that I would love to work with as well as Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and I'm very lucky to have worked with Isabel Coixet, who is also one of my favourite directors.

In 'The Hobbit,' there were British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand actors, and Peter Jackson was adamant that we would all sound like we were from Britain somewhere.
