I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months, and I was by myself.

We did a lot of special effects in Ring Of The Nibelungs and that kind of helped on Harry Potter. But it was on such a smaller scale. There’s 2,000 people working on Harry Potter and I don’t think there’s many films that can afford that type of epic-ness. It was very different. The scale is just so huge.
