Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.

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.

When I first was offered the role on Rise [of the Planet of the Apes], I always played Caesar as a human being within ape skin.

'The Hobbit' was one of the first biggish books I ever read. I remember vividly the 'riddles in the dark' passage, and it meant a lot to me to finally get to play it after all these years.

Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.

For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.

I can get on with all different sorts of people, and I never feel homesick, particularly, or I've never felt kind of patriotic towards any one country.
