If you read 'Lord of the Rings' and dismiss it as a lie

If you read ‘Lord of the Rings’ and dismiss it as a lie because it has orcs and elves, you’re missing the whole point of the story. If children don’t have to be concerned about strangers because there’s no such thing as a Big Bad Wolf dressed like Granny, you’re missing the point.
Doug TenNapel
‘The Lord of the Rings,’ published in the mid-1950s, was intended as a prehistory to our own world. It was perceived by Tolkien to be a small but significant episode in a vast alternate mythology constructed entirely out of his own imagination.
Peter Jackson
‘Lord of the Rings’ was going on; like, my college years were the years of ‘Lord of the Rings,’ an awesome time to be in film school.
Evan Daugherty
I read a lot of fantasy as a kid. I read ‘The Hobbit’ and all of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ books, but I also read a lot of realism like ‘The Outsiders.’
Lisa Papademetriou
I do find it slightly offensive that everyone thinks that every New Zealander starred in either ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘The Hobbit.’
Jacinda Ardern
Legolas in ‘Lord Of The Rings’ was sent as a bridge from his people into the world of dwarves and humans and wizards and everything else.
Orlando Bloom
‘Lord of the Rings’ was a set of books in which the world had been conceived before the characters were placed within that context.
Mark Z. Danielewski
Tolkien is eminently filmable, I think. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is intensely… landscaped. But ‘Discworld’ is about dialogue, which is one reason why it might be hard to film.
Terry Pratchett
I was so excited to audition for ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ I knew it was going to be huge. Maybe, by some small chance, Peter Jackson’s a ‘Star Trek Deep Space Nine’ fan.’
Aron Eisenberg
I loved ‘Pan’s Labyrinth.’ It transported me into another world. I like fantasy worlds; I love ‘Lord of the Rings’ as well, for that reason, because you really get to get out of reality and go somewhere else.
Malin Akerman
To make three films out of one shortish book, they have to turn it into an epic, just as ‘Lord of the Rings’ is an epic. But ‘The Hobbit’ isn’t an epic: its tone is intimate and personal, and although it’s full of adventures and excitement, they’re on a different scale to those of the bigger book.
John Lanchester
The Beatles once approached Stanley Kubrick to do ‘The Lord Of The Rings.’ This was before Tolkien sold the rights. They approached him, and he said, ‘No.’
Peter Jackson
I know Peter Jackson a tiny-tiny bit from interviewing him about the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies over the years. When I was visiting the set of ‘The Return of the King,’ he let me be an extra so I could see filmmaking from a different perspective. I was a Rohan soldier.
Jeff Giles
Recently I read that half the world or more has read ‘The Lord of The Rings,’ but then I found out that something like 75 per cent of the world knows the ‘Tintin’ books.
Andy Serkis
My college roommate gave me her copy of ‘Lord of the Rings,’ and I read that probably five or six times – not because I think it’s the greatest thing ever written, though some people certainly think it is – but the world he creates is so vivid. So real that he designed its own languages, history and mythology.
Carol Berg
I think, back in the day, the ultimate trifecta was considered ‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Lord of the Rings,’ and maybe ‘Star Trek.’
Jessica Henwick
I think ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there’s not really that deep of a mythological construct.
Damon Lindelof
My first score for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ was the beginning of my journey into the world of Tolkien, and I will always hold a special fondness for the music and the experience.
Howard Shore
I never dreamed in a million years that ‘The Lord of the Rings’ would be nominated for an Oscar. Those types of fantasy movies never got nominations.
Peter Jackson
I think ‘The Lord Of The Rings’ is the mother of all cult books, because you can be in that cult and not even know you’re in it.
Markus Zusak
When I played Gollum in ‘Lord of the Rings,’ if I was climbing up the side of a mountain, which I physically did, you know, I was on every single occasion swimming through streams, all of that, that wasn’t captured. That was filmed on 35 millimeter, and for certain of those shots, it was rotoscoped and painted over.
Andy Serkis
Everybody knows about Peter Jackson, ‘The Hobbit’ movies and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ films being made in New Zealand, and to actually have been part of it for such a long period, to live there and to have friends that I will have for life because of that experience, is an amazing thing.
Luke Evans
I love, love, love fantasy, like ‘Lord of the Rings’ and things like that.
Molly Quinn
That was the big effect Lord of the Rings had on me. It was discovering New Zealand. And even more precious were the people- not at all like the Australians.
Ian Mckellen
Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that’s the way they’re done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.
Orlando Bloom
‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Star Wars’ shoved me into loving sci-fi and film in general when I was a barely coherent 3-year-old. And ‘Lord of the Rings’ took me to another planet entirely. Before that series, I knew I loved writing, but after, I knew that I had to write.
Victoria Aveyard
We really liked the magic of ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ but we could never figure out where the powers came from.
Bryan Konietzko
Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered ‘The Hobbit.’ That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the ‘Lord of the Rings’ series. And once I’d read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.
Richard Paul Evans
If you take ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as books, one is written for children, and one is an adult’s book.
Peter Jackson
My family’s a huge fan of ‘Lord of the Rings.’ My dad probably preaches from ‘Lord of the Rings’ as much as he does the Bible.
Sarah Drew
‘The Sword of Shannara’ is about two brothers who find themselves on an epic quest to save humanity. It borrows from ‘Lord of the Rings’ but is still original in its own right. I read it in three days, then reread it, then went out and found every single book Terry Brooks ever wrote, and read all those.
Sabaa Tahir
I don't want to use the word 'instinct,' but when somet

I don’t want to use the word ‘instinct,’ but when something good happens – something big or good in my life – I have this sensation that it was inevitable. Anything careerwise, ‘Lord of the Rings,’ ‘Rudy,’ or getting married. Which is weird, because you don’t ever want to be ungrateful for what you have.
Sean Astin
All my favorite books and movies are franchises like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings,’ so that was always the dream, that maybe I’ll get to write a series of my own.
Victoria Aveyard
Man, I love the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies. Some people would say I’m weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.
Robert Griffin III
I think even back as far as ‘Lord of the Rings,’ there was always the chance that ‘The Hobbit’ would be made, even way back then. Of course at that point, Peter Jackson didn’t probably think at that point that he’d be directing it.
Andy Serkis
I first read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as an adolescent. It’s a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.
Peter Jackson
I was fascinated by ‘The Lord of the Rings’ from about the age of eight, and that lasted well into my teens.
Philip Reeve
There were two movies that asked me to go to Australia or New Zealand for long periods of time. One was ‘Lord of the Rings’ and one was ‘The Matrix.’ But I was actively involved at that time raising my family, and I couldn’t really take that time out.
Nicolas Cage
The first time I got recognized in public was at a movie theater. It was at the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie premiere. I was at the movie theater, and someone came up, and it was so weird to me, because I had never been recognized by a viewer, so I thought that was scary.
Connor Franta
My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you’ll get a different answer.
Orson Scott Card
I think Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens have very carefully plotted ‘The Hobbit’ out so that it does feel like the starting point for ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
Lee Pace
That is definitely something that I feel more comfortable with now. When I did ‘Lord of the Rings,’ it was something I wasn’t quite prepared for, I didn’t know how to deal with that sort of attention, and I kind of shied away from that, but I’m better at dealing with that now – a lot better.
Miranda Otto
I read ‘The Hobbit’ when I was twenty and first reading modern science fiction and fantasy. I followed it up with ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ which I still reread from time to time, but of the lot of it, I prefer ‘The Hobbit.’
James Blaylock
Orlando’s a really cool guy. They hired him for ‘Lord of the Rings’ out of drama school. He’s very new at this still and doesn’t have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we’ve tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.
Diane Kruger
We’re always looking for ways to extend all of our intellectual property. We’ve seen that’s what happened with ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
Jon Feltheimer
I hadn’t watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ – I’m gonna get so much flack for this, but I hadn’t watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ when I started watching ‘Game of Thrones.’
Jacob Anderson
Everyone was very deeply involved in the world of ‘The Lord of the Rings’. From the wardrobe department to lighting, all were fascinated with the story. This is something that does not happen usually.
Sean Bean
