Wrecked Quotes

(on concluding filming of LOTR:) "Frodo will look more haggard, but not as bad as Gollum. There is a massive transformation, but the journey should have a physical effect on him, which makes sense as I look a lot older than when I started filming. I was 18 then, and it`s appropriate that he looks older, too. And if I`ve done my job right, then you should empathize with him. When it came to the end, I was very emotional. I was heaving, I couldn`t breathe, and the last bits of the movie really wrecked me. They gave each actor his own farewell, when we were back there earlier this year. You`d go on to a sound stage and Peter (director Peter Jackson) would make a speech about each actor and then bring in their sword and a clapperboard. It was completely overwhelming. When it came time for me to give a speech, I was so gone I just couldn`t do it. I now have the ears, the feet, the sword, the Ring, and one of the maps of Middle-Earth. The whole thing has had a massive impact on us. I think Bill (Billy Boyd) and Dom (Dominic Monaghan) and I are thinking about buying a house here (in New Zealand), because we don`t want to lose our connection with the country. It makes most sense to go in on a place because we could use it like a timeshare and then holiday at different times or together. But we`re so lazy and completely hopeless at doing things, so it remains to be seen if it`ll ever happen." (December 11, 2003)

There are tons of people who hate me. They hate my movies and whatnot. But you know, hey, my films have made a lot of money around the world. 2-something billion dollars, that`s a lot of tickets. They said that I wrecked cinema. They said that my, uh...cutting style. They say I cut too fast. And yet now you see it in movies everywhere. Do I take pride in people knowing my style? I think it`s nice people know a director has a style. And you can reinvent yourself too.

(Brian Vickers was livid Saturday after he got black flagged for passing a car on the left during a late restart in the Busch race. Vickers seemed to have a half-decent excuse: The car in front of him missed a shift and it was either pass him or rear-end him.) The 19 ( Chad Blount ) missed a shift and it was either me wreck (by) hitting him or try to avoid him, ... That`s racing. When somebody misses a shift it`s a basic maneuver -- you either wreck or be wrecked and we went low to miss him. I never passed him before the start/finish line. It`s the front bumper that counts and it was a bad call.

The guys did a great job in the pits, ... We just sort of tried to stay out of trouble. We`ve wrecked out of this race like the last three times. It`s usually been a good race track for us and we were lucky we got a good qualifying spot and just tried to keep our nose clean all night.
