You don't necessarily have to go a long way in New Zealand to be in some pretty dense and scary bush.

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.

This was only Taika Watiti fourth film [Hunt for the Wilderpeople], but I think he brings a very original way of looking at stuff and I think if you look at Boy, for instance, which is a beautiful film, that was his second feature, and it's heartbreakingly sad, but it's also simultaneously very funny. There are not many people who can do that.

Magic realism - somebody used that phrase the other day that is familiar with South American literature. That rang a bell. It resonates with me.

Because I was familiar with Taika's Watiti work and there's a very subversive, funny streak amongst all of them. I don't think he turned [Hunt for the Wilderpeople] into a sort of drama, there's too much dark material underneath it for it to be a comedy; it wasn't designed to be a comedy. I think it's a comedy... I think it's a drama that's funny; which is different.

Dexter' I'm very fond of. I got addicted to that.

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

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

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

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

People turn into fools when they see a movie star and do weird things.

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

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.

When I left university I was working for a documentary film company for six or seven years to the great relief of my father whose greatest waking fear was that I would become an actor.

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

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

I can tell you where I was when Kennedy was shot - which was in the common room at school. I heard about it on the old valve radio. At the time of Armstrong's landing, I was at university rehearsing a play.

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'm not big on Champagne, but I'd take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.
