Big budgets don't necessarily give you big films.

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

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

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.

I understand acting and I understand actors. I don't really understand the world of celebrity. That's just bizarre. Those sorts of elements I'm at sea with.

In the case of Wilderpeople, I walked on the first day with some apprehension actually; because it doesn't come anywhere close to anything I've really played before, this part.

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