I Think All Art Is Subjective -

But You Talk To Most Filmmakers And It Is Six, Seven, Eight Years Trying To Get Things Off The Ground. It Is Incredible Really.

Sometimes The Songs You Think Will Be Best Don't Turn Out To Be Best.

I Wasn't Into Tolkien At School Really. But The Story Is Timeless, The Themes That It Touches On Are Contained In Cultures All Around The World. The Innocent On A Quest, The Pretender, An Inanimate Object That Holds Evil - It's Really Strange That These Themes Are There In So Many Different Countries' Folklore.

A Lot Of Ideas Took Us To Dead Ends Or We Found The Tone Wasn’t Just Right. I Think We Discovered Very Quickly This Wasn’t Just A Song To End The Battle Of The Five Armies — It Was A Song To Say Goodbye To Middle-earth.

Rather Than Thinking, 'if I Do This, And In Five Years I'll Be Where I Want To Be,' You're Better Just Doing Something That Makes You Happy Now.
