In this business, we have to travel so far away from our families. We have two children, so if we can work together, that's awesome. Before I met Lisa Bonet , it was a dream to work with her.

A lot of people don't know enough about me. When I meet people who freak out about Game of Thrones, they don't even know that I can speak English.

I grew up with artists.

I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.

I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based, so that I could direct Road to Paloma and show that side.

I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.

I don't want to just play the same thing. But with The Red Road, no one has ever seen me like that. No one really even knows that I smile, have a personality and have a sense of humor.
