Keisha Castle-Hughes quotes # 7

 

 "It hurt at the time because it's supposed to be a huge celebration. I was supposed to be able to go, 'Wow, I'm having a baby and this is amazing'. I felt like that I had to hide. I felt like it was bad for me to be happy about it. I felt scared in my own home and it was horrible. I should be entitled to walk around my front yard without worrying that these people are watching me."

Keisha Castle-Hughes quotes # 6

(on roles she`s been offered since Whale Rider)

 "They`re all really sexual roles or they all think that I`m still 11. They send me scripts and I say that I`m too young or not old enough and they`re like, `Well just come in and see us.` And so I go in and they`re like, `Oh, you`ve got tall and you`ve got hips and you`ve got boobs.` And I`m like, `Yeah. That`s what happens."
