When I found out this was going to be the last 'Star Wars' film that was ever going to be made, I felt pretty privileged to be in it.
Thanks to a lot of people, not just myself, 'Whale Rider' had an amazing impact emotionally, and people remember it. I count myself very lucky that all those doors were unlocked, I just had to open them.
I come from a big family, so I'd like to have a big family.
