In 'The Hobbit,' there were British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand actors, and Peter Jackson was adamant that we would all sound like we were from Britain somewhere.

When you walk onto a Peter Jackson set, you can see straightaway that money isn't an issue.

I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in 'Heavenly Creatures.'

Stephen Daldry would be a director that I would love to work with as well as Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and I'm very lucky to have worked with Isabel Coixet, who is also one of my favourite directors.

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.

New Zealand has a great reputation in America for golf.
