You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us.
Photography's central role is to be the absolute medium of the day. It is fantastic that there is no longer any technical intimidation.
In terms of having views and being prepared to express them, yes, I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.

For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
I'm not looking for anything other than an interesting role to play.
Obviously solving the education problem is big and complex, and there's already so many failings, but coding is the new fluency. This is the most valuable skill of this century. If you want to be a founder of a company, and not even just a tech company, but like a founder of a company, because I'm telling you software is going to play a role.

I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.
Savings will not make you rich. Only canny investments do that. The role of savings is to keep you from becoming poor.
I don't know if I've ever played a character who's close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other.
