"The place that turned me down for my first job application, i ended up owning the company" haha great :)

Peter Jackson never ceases to amaze me... brilliant director and producer, and also a decent guy concerned with other peoples' children.

These interviews are priceless for aspiring filmmakers. Thank you.

His films are revolutionary and his legacy is so professional.

They reference district 9 so this was recorded in 2009. I've never seen Jackson not fat before, but I see now. He gets fat every time he makes Tolkien films. Because he got the weight back in the 2010s haha!

That was a terrific interview. Sir Peter Jackson is a very genuine person, the antithesis of Hollywood slugs. My thanks to the interviewer and the poster.

I used to work with him at Wellington Newspapers along with Terry Potter.....We would be playing cards on our break and Pete would be in my darkroom listening to Beatle songs on my 4 track with head phones on. All we could hear was him yelling......."Its been a hard days night" Ha ha. He couldnt sing for shit but he loved the Beatles.Then he would come and join our "penny" card games at smoko........and take all our money off us.......bastard ;-) Then he said "you wanna be in my movie"..........There was born Frank and Ozzie.

This guy is revolutionary . The extent  he went to make films.. put their homes in danger for a warehouse

I love true stories about people's lives. In this case it's someone whose done some incredible things. Makes it all the more interesting. Peter's persistance in pursuing his dream is the secret to his eventual success.

This man makes me wish I was a New Zealander.

I think he looks just fine now. Not exhausted or less happy...he looks healthy,about 10 years younger and freaking AWESOM!

The guy is so friendly and warm

Very interesting interview, he is really living the dream. Braindead is the movie I have seen the most times of any movie, there was a time when me and a friend saw it every day after school, a memories :-)

He makes me proud to be a New Zealander :)

Great work, PJ is just a sweet humble man with PASSION and drive and doesn't give up! Inspiring and THE BEST DIRECTOR in the last 15 yrs PERIOD!

Happy birthday, Peter Jackson! you truly are a fantastic director and a genius!

I LOVE PETER JACKSON !!!!!!!
