Even though we can say the European or North American market is bigger, no, for me, I want Hong Kong to be my main market. They want to own me and I want to own them. It`s out of willingness.

(on the 1976 remake of King Kong): "I was 15 when that film came out. I took the day off school, went into Wellington and was first in line to see it. It was a disappointment because I wanted it to have stop-motion animation, dinosaurs and the Empire Stat...
Peter Jackson
I put in a call to Clark Gable to tell him about some deer I`d heard were running loose up in the Canadian Rockies. I was told he was on location ... in Hong Kong. I called Robert Taylor. He was on location, too, in Italy, unless he had finished there and...

I`ve always enjoyed it when it was John Woo in his Hong Kong days like Hard Boiled, but I think it`s overused now. - [on Hong Kong film making styles]

We didn`t want to anthropomorphize him to the point where we were explaining every single little gesture. Gorillas both in captivity and the wild have an enigmatic quality - a sense of disconnect, of otherness. - on his title character in `King Kong` (200...

At the premiere of King Kong I wasn`t too impressed. I thought there was too much screaming...I didn`t realise then that King Kong and I were going to be together for the rest of our lives, and longer....

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself. The worst type is dictated by demographics or what is hip or what kids are into. Kong isn`t driven by that. No way would a studio think this is the year that people want to see a big goril...

When my youngest daughter first saw the film, she said Kong wasn`t trying to hurt you, he was just trying to protect you, which was right. (2004) [In reference to King Kong (1933)]

[On playing hero Jack Driscoll in Peter Jackson`s _King Kong_] "I`ve always wanted to do something like King Kong. It`s a phenomenal role that any actor would kill for. I`ve been looking for this kind of iconic leading man guy for years, but they are hard...

I love the Hong Kong style of action movies, but that only looks good for small guys. The reason why the whole style was developed over there was because those guys were very puny guys - they`re not powerful-looking guys, they`re also not powerful guys. T...
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I took his (Alex Van Damme) name, in fact from his father because his father sent me for the first time in Hong Kong to be a picture model. I`m not enough tall to be a catwalk model, plus too big for that, and we became very good friends and I took his na...
Jean-Claude Van Damme
In Hong Kong the camera is always moving. Yimou Zhang will put the camera on you and leave it there. And if you`re good, you`re good. And if you`re not, well ... [on the difference between working on Hong Kong productions and a Zhang Yimou production]

That one single movie (King Kong) has reached million of people of all ages, all over the world--and audiences are still fascinated by it today. (2004)

[In reference to King Kong (1933)] "He (Merian Cooper) called me into his office and showed me sketches of jungle scenes and told me, `You`re going to have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood.` Naturally, I thought Clark Gable. But then he showe...
Fay Wray
I don`t think I`m really the go-to girl for that sort of cheery popcorn movie. I`ve done that little bit of lightness in King Kong, and I Heart Huckabees was definitely goofy, but I just don`t connect that well to romantic comedies because they`re usually...
Naomi Watts
I mean, forget about Jurassic Park (1993), I remember the real-event movie when I was a kid was "King Kong Vs. Godzilla" (Kingu Kongu tai Gojira (1962)). There was a theatre outside of Pittsburgh where I grew up, a real jewel box inside, three balconies.
Jeff Goldblum
When I shot my scenes Kong wasn`t there at all. I had to use my imagination, which was exciting and terrifying at the same time. Acting is about the imagination, that`s the great joy of it. But nothing quite like it had been done before, so I was a little...

Recently, a six-year-old boy said to me, `I`ve been waiting to meet you for half my life. (1993, on not being able to escape her role in "King Kong")

No film has captivated my imagination more than King Kong. I`m making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old. It has been my sustained dream to reinterpret this classic story for a new age.
Peter Jackson
In the West audiences think I am a stereotyped action star, or that I always play hitmen or killers. But in Hong Kong, I did a lot of comedy, many dramatic films, and most of all, romantic roles, lots of love stories. I was like a romance novel hero.
Chow Yun-Fat

Adrien Brody
[answering the bad reviews he got on his last movie, A Countess from Hong Kong (1967)] If they don`t like it, they are bloody idiots. A diplomat falls in love with a prostitute - what better story can they get than that?
