10 insightful quotes by taika waititi
- A big part of the humor is in identifying with the tragic elements of the film. The New Zealand sense of humor is very dark. Our films are usually very dark and it’s always someone being killed. Usually a child.
- There are lots of parts of filmmaking that I don’t like. At the end of the day, especially on features, the film turns into a commodity. You have to play this entirely new game I’m very uncomfortable with.
- I distinctly remember watching Annie when I was very little and thinking ‘I don’t like this kid.’ In fact I think I remember thinking ‘I don’t like any of these kids.’ That’s all I remember.
- Sundance felt like a natural fit. I love coming here, and I do think that this festival suits my films rather than most of the festivals I’ve been to. I’m not going to Cannes, you know.
- I might revisit – I like the idea of doing something else with [Hunt for the Wilderpeople characters]. But also I get bored of doing the same thing again. I just get bored.
- I never wanted to be a filmmaker. I still, sometimes, think I got sidetracked by this, like this is a tangent. My main thing was painting; I was just going to do that.
- I have to keep reminding myself that I was hired for a reason and one of those reasons is because of the stories I tell and the films I’ve made previously.
- I constantly remind myself that there are terrible movies out there. I try to watch them, some of them, to give myself an understanding of what not to do.
- I’ve always been a relaxed person on set, but I think the main thing is I think about it from an editing point of view way more than I did before.
- Short film: you can be poetic and you don’t have to answer anything. You can make whatever you want. You have creative freedom with short film.
