I love, first of all, reading and discovering what the common perception is and then trying to figure out... well, how does your life cross over into that character, or what's an angle on this that might challenge the status quo? It's just a great journey as well as an education. You're constantly being educated - it's like I'm back at school and making up for lost time.

I am a bit evangelical, I know, but performance-capture is still misunderstood.

I think there will always be a particular generation of actors who think that they're going to be replaced by robots. But certainly the emerging actors understand that that's part of the craft.

Gorilla tourism is vital to Rwanda's economy: It's the third highest source of income.

35mm film isn't ticking away so it's subconscious - performances are allowed to breathe in a much more real way I think.

I remember kind of doing early acting and thinking, "God, they don't paint behind the sets." It's a bit of a shame, really - "Oh, what's on the other side of this wall? Oh, you can see the plywood." I was really disappointed. I just thought that these things were real, from watching things as a kid.

That's what I think is the biggest challenge, is just being still and learning how to just be present in that stillness and not over do it, not over act.
