More Quotes by Niki Caro

Martial arts are inherently both incredibly impressive and incredibly beautiful. And that's my female nature, maybe, and my instinct, to make things beautiful.

Niki Caro

You know, when you make something in live-action, you make it real.

Niki Caro

I made 'Whale Rider', I saw that to be specific and authentic is to be universal, and I've continued to work in an identical way ever since.
