| Quotes: |
I keep having to pinch myself to make sure I'm actually awake. The Oscars are so big -- they're huge ... I'm totally humbled and ecstatic. No words are enough to explain ... it's like, wow. It's absolutely incredible. - after finding out about her Academy Award nomination
<br />
<hr>
[on being asked if acting what how she expected it to be] "Definitely not what I expected it to be. All I ever saw were famous people getting what they wanted when they wanted it and I was shocked at the fact that I actually had to work."
<br />
<hr>
[on Whale Rider] "Watching that film made me proud to be a New Zealander."
<br />
<hr>
[on whether she wants to be an actor when she's older] "I want to be a science teacher. My friends asked me why, but I'm intrigued by it and I'm quite good at science at school."
<br />
<hr>
I'd always wanted to act but it wasn't just that, it was because all the ladies wore pretty dresses. |
