Now that I am about to inherit some fuck you money, the time has come for the NZ film and theatre industries to treat me in a fair,...

Well, that was how I felt about Barbie, but I didn't mean the diva bit. She had the kind of life going on that I thought I wanted,...

My background is part-Greek, and I grew up partly overseas, so we got on well. I like to say that John taught me about rhythm. How to...
