Geeks are the coolest people.
The prospect of being able to work on a Kaufman film with him directing was just too good to be true.
I definitely felt the pressure I wanted to live up to all of the expectations
I don't know that I necessarily feel more comfortable in the context of smaller films, but I tend to feel more comfortable more often than not with the material of smaller films,.
I'm not a star!!! A star is nothing but a ball of gas!!!
If you cut off your arm instead of going 'spurt, spurt, spurt' wouldn't it, like, go nuts? Or would it go with the beat of your heart?
I'm kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed.
There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected.

Geeks are generally the most interesting people.
My philosophy has always been to try to put myself into roles and films that are different. That intensified after 'Lord of the Rings' because it was so massive, but it's something I've always believed in, wanting to change people's perceptions and challenge myself as an actor.
I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me
It was kind of unique and great to have two films coming out within a week. It certainly was a different experience for me
