Filmmaking in general is just really where I'm putting all of my energy.

When you think about going back to the States you start to become more aware of the violence there and how we pollute the Earth more than the New Zealanders.

It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day.

All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.

In film and television you have to be able to see the whole picture in a different way than you do on the stage because you shoot out of order and you're working with technology.

I wouldn't say that I'm overly religious, but I have a pretty good relationship with my spiritual being.

Because I've always been more afraid of writing than I have of doing anything visually such as directing or acting.
