I get very antsy and nervous if I don't know what the next job is.

I go by the role pretty much. And I think the only genre I haven't gotten to do but I'd love to is a western, but no one has ever asked me to do that. Unfortunately they are very few and far between these days, but that is one type of film I'd love to do.

I like actors. I like their insecurities, their humor and their intelligence.

I can never really remember what I look like. I'm just sort of neutral. I don't think I'm sort of, you know, hideous.

Try and fit in in a New Zealand playground with an Armagh accent - it doesn't work.

Wines are like women in that it's often the imperfections that fascinate.

The core of the film [Hunt for the Wilderpeople] is that relationship. Whether they're getting on or whether they're not. If that relationship works, then everything else works as well. And you kind of almost, sort of, gives into a realm of something like New Zealand magic realism... There is no world in which social work is actually pursues some kid into the woods in this manner.
