I do love nature, but I don't suppose I'd spent more time in zoos as a child than anyone else!
From Andy Serkis
The art of transformation is a very important thing to me, and I always believe I can say something more truthful through characters that are further away from me.
I think I spend most of my time not living in reality, actually.
Actors' performances do not stand alone in any film, live action or whatever.
In performance capture roles, it's not a committee of animators that author the role, it's the actor. I think that's a significant thing for people to understand.
Any sort of role requires a certain amount of research and embodiment of the character and psychological investigation.
I think the actors in 'Greystoke' were amazing. They had a really good performance coach called Peter Elliott who's, of his time, one of the greatest simian performance coaches for actors.
The great thing about performance capture is you can go off, and then, without changing costume, you can become another character.
I would love to direct an 'Apes' movie. It would be in the spirit of where I'm going with my career - avatars played by actors to say something about the human condition.
A lot of people have asked me to do answer phone messages for them.
