Everybody thinks performance capture is about thrashing around and doing a lots of movement, but it's actually about being able to contain and think and be believed in a close-up, as much as anything else.

Performance capture, for me, is finding the essence of a performance.

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

My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.

Performing is just standing up there and doing something. Performance takes on an edge to it. It has a more dramatic context.

What's fantastic is that there's a real growing appreciation for performance-capture technology as a tool for acting.

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.

It is much more difficult to measure nonperformance than performance.

If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important.
