I try to cast actors willing to believe in the world of the movie, who can make an emotional investment in the world we are creating.

Personally, I have nothing to prove. But I'm tremendously curious about human nature. Female life is so incredibly underexplored in cinema, so these stories feel very exotic.

With every film I've made, 'Whale Rider' included, I've had a vision that was far bigger than the budget allowed.

In all cases, I will always hire the best person for the job, and it just so happens that many of those are women.

I think a lot of action films, and I'm just saying this as a moviegoer, the default setting on action films seems to be how could it be cooler?

We know, from our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, our friends, that our strength comes - female strength - comes in all kinds of forms.

I recognised that femininity and strength are not mutually exclusive, and I think that femininity has often been equated with weakness, but we know it's not.

I'm not at my house storyboarding, and telling them they need to move from A to B, 'Move here and then there.' Never, ever! I used to storyboard when I was much less experienced.

I blew up the mine in 'North Country'. It was about a kilometer long. I was so nervous that I'd do it wrong that I closed my eyes when I did it and I missed the shot completely.

I come from a place that is very politically sophisticated and progressive. New Zealand was the first place to give women the right to vote.
