Originally When I Went Off To Work

I Was Thinking About That. I Was Thinking, This Is Like Our Boyhood; This Is Like Our Getting Together Over 12 Years To Make - This Our Apehood! I Mean, This Is It! For Me, The Relationships, All Of Those Things, Over Such A Long Period Of Time Now With Actors, But Also Seeing The Characters Grow, Develop, And Change, And Go Through Different Situations.

Working From Home Is So, So Hard Because I Want To Be Present For Them And Yet There's So Much To Do Work-wise. That's The Biggest Challenge For Me.

Performance Capture Is A Tool That Young Actors Will Need In The Next 10, 20 Years. It's On The Increase, As You Say. It's Not Going Away.

Caesar [from The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes] Was Brought Up With Human Beings And Because Of The Drug He Had Pretty Much Grown Up With His Whole Life, He Felt Like An Outsider, He Felt Trapped In An Ape's Body But He Didn't Really Feel Like An Ape And That Was My Way Into The Character. So He's Always Had This Duality Playing Him From An Infant All The Way To Now As A Fifty-five Year Old Ape.

I Understand Why People Went Nuts For 'the Artist.' We Use Words So Much, It's Nice To Be Able To Explore A Different Way Of Communication, To Be Able To Express Silently What Someone - Or Something - Is Thinking Or Feeling.
