Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman buddy.

You know what's it's changed is my appreciate for the art form of making cinema. I don't want to act as much as I want to tell stories. I want to be a part of the whole collective and pull all of the pieces together. That's what I love about directing.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

I was a huge comic book fan, and I still am.

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 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.
