Rhys Darby

Rhys: (On his vocal sound effect skills) I just started making noises every time I described objects or mimed objects in my story telling. It didn't even occur to me that I could mimic sounds any better than anyone for a long time. Then someone told me I could and so it has really just been a natural process for me. I haven't even spent time practicing to get the sounds right. They just come out well when I do them off the cuff. Some people can do accents. I can do machinery, and various animals. When you use a microphone you can really have a lot of fun with sound effects so that's why I've stuck with it.

Rhys: (On the HBO network) Getting a show on HBO has been amazing. I can really recommend it. They have been awesome to work with, and they are at the forefront of taking risks and their visions seem to be limitless. HBO is the best. There's nothing that comes close.

Rhys: (On Flight Of The Conchords co-star Kristen Schaal) I can't say anything that isn't nice about Kristen. I love her to bits, she really is a ball of excitement. We hang out when we can when we're in the same country. We go shopping for novelty gifts together and once we went clay modeling. She has my bike at the moment on loan until I come back to NYC to make the second series.
