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

Anyone who has a parent can relate to this idea of not quite understanding who your parents are or making up stories about them.

A set should be like a family, except that you all actually like each other.

I'm not interested in doing work that doesn't captivate me.

Films that are easy to sell happen to be the worst films. Look at the poster for 'Wrath of the Titans' and 'John Carter': they're exactly the same. You could switch titles.
