New Zealanders have conventions and pleasantries, but we are direct. We are encouraged to be transparent with our behavior and not to employ passive aggression.

More quotes by Daniel Gillies
I moved to New Zealand from Winnipeg when I was almost five. I hated it. It was to a city in the south of New Zealand called Invercargill and there was constant rain. There was a depressing sensation in the air.
Daniel Gillies
The feeling of New Orleans is so pervasive. It's such a strange and decadent and enchanted embrace that that city has. There's a dark magic present. It's no wonder that it's been the hot bed for so much vampiric folklore. The city has got an ancient quality. It's one of the oldest cities in North America.
Daniel Gillies
Tell people you're a Canadian or a Kiwi when you travel and they'll adore you.
Daniel Gillies
Nobody really truly supporting independent filmmakers anymore. It's just dire. There's a lot of bad filmmaking, and there's a lot of people worshipping some terrible filmmakers. It's a waste of all of our time, if you don't feel anything. We are an age of YouTube kids. We don't care so much anymore. It's all about marketing.
Daniel Gillies
As lovely as people are to me about my performance, I'm still a huge critic. I like very little of what I ever do.
Daniel Gillies
You're making a big mistake if you think that you can beat me.
Daniel Gillies
Cable had a latitude to move which created less censorship and bestowed upon the artists, the writers and the creators, more liberty to create their shows.
Daniel Gillies
We are contaminated with the idea of winning and defeating others. Indoctrinated by parents, schools, and our ubiquitous media, hammered with a lie: The only way to be truly triumphant is if we are dominant before supposed competitors rather than beautiful before ourselves.
Daniel Gillies
We are not taught that hardship is the anvil upon which we are beaten into beauty. We are not taught that some of our greatest moments are some of our most difficult.
Daniel Gillies
If you devote yourself entirely to a pursuit, there is no way you cannot find beauty and fulfillment.
Daniel Gillies
Kevin Smith is so great in 'Kingdom Come,' isn't he? He's kind of this very earthy poet. He just has this immediate gregariousness, like, you kind of just want to be his pal.
Daniel Gillies
I'm not George Clooney, so I can't just pick and choose. I take roles where they occur.
Daniel Gillies
At every turn you have to find a new kind of self-sovereignty over your environment. Every kid I see is at the mercy of Periscope, Twitter, or an Angry Bird of some description. People are shackled to their mediocrity by companies and businesses who want to consume your life with theirs.
