Personal Quote:

I think it's impossible to do [J.R.R. Tolkien]. It's impossible to get the brilliance of what he wrote about -- just the medium, the book, the novel gives you other areas of imagination [that] film can't allow. Film has to describe and show. With the brilliance of his words and his scenes, you imagine whatever you want. I'm sure various people imagine different things. See more »

Trivia:

He left Hollywood and filmmaking to spend his remaining life painting pictures, but during the back-to-back recording for a guest appearance on Ren & Stimpy 'Adult Party Cartoon' and the DVD commentary for his 1977 film Wizards, he was bit by the animation bug again, and has recently (2005) begun work on his latest feature, currently titled "Last Days of Coney Island."
