I desperately wanted to go to drama school and after that I've always been delighted to be offered employment - to view everything that comes my way as a chance to get better.
When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.
This movie [Moana] has a very small cast, and this was the role [Heihei] that they offered me. I loved voicing him.
