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

I think you need brains to do any Shakespeare with any authority. I could do Shakespeare, but not with any authority.

I think it took us all by surprise. I mean, I knew that people in New Zealand would like [Hunt for the Wilderpeople], but no one really anticipated how much they would embrace it as it is. And it's playing widely in Australia now; they're running it as well. It's going to be interesting to see how it does it in the States, but I think if Sundance was any indication, I imagine it could do well.

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.

No intelligent man wears a moustache voluntarily - you can write that down.

I hate to say it, but there seems to have been some sort of dumbing down as far as movies go.

As much as possible, I try to encourage people to use stunt men because that is really their job.
