As Long As You Have The Acting

There's This Whole Grey Area Seemingly Every Time It's Talked About Animators And Who Takes Ultimate Responsibility For The Characters [of The Planet Of The Apes] But Without Question And I'll Go Down Saying This Year After Year, These Characters Are Authored By What We Do On Set. They Are Not Authored By Animators.

I've Done A Fair Amount Of That Stuff... When We Did 'lord Of The Rings' The Transformation Sequence From Smeagol To Gollum Was A 19-hour Make-up Job. You Have To Have A Kind Of Zen Button That You Press And Allow The Mind To Be Focused In A Certain Way.

As Long As You Have The Acting Chops And The Desire To Get Inside A Character, You Can Play Anything.

When I Was In Theater I Was Forever Trying To Inhabit A Space Which Puts Yourself Under The Microscope As An Actor And Your Personality And Your Take On Life, But Actually Through Another Portal Of A Character.

I'm In The Early Stages Of A Film Called 'freezing Time' About Eadweard Muybridge, The Victorian Photographer Who Was Really The Forefather Of Cinema. Digital Animators Still Treat His Images Like The Bible. He Was A Very Obsessed Man.
