- Likes to have cameo roles in his movies
- In his late teens, he had a job at the Wellington Evening Post
- Favorite music is 60s music (especially the Beatles), classical music, and film scores
- First read the LotR trilogy at 18, and immediately decided he couldn't wait until someone made it into a movie...never dreaming, of course, that he would be the director.
- Thinks the Star Wars movies are fantastic
- Collects models of airplanes from World War I
- His film Heavenly Creatures was Kate Winslet's major film debut
- Was so fond of the original King Kong that he cut up his mother's fur coat and made it into a model of the ape
