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.

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.

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.

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 like being around actors. Imagine not liking actors.

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

Every actor wants more offers, but I get enough and I do like to be busy.
