Taika Waititi : (3)

" When I became a film-maker, all my favourite films, they weren’t comedies. " - Taika Waititi

" Maori get pigeonholed into the idea they’re spiritual and telling stories like ‘Whale Rider’ and ‘Once Were Warriors,’ quite serious stuff, but we’re pretty funny people, and we never really have had an opportunity to show that side of ourselves, the clumsy, nerdy side of ourselves, which is something I am. " - Taika Waititi

" I’ve always found the script to be more of a skeleton, the template. " - Taika Waititi
