I'd Like To Think That We Strive

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.

I Think What Traditional Studios Probably Don't Understand Is That It's A Genuine Advancement In The Actor's Tradition. And You Know, The Tradition And Craft Of Acting. And It's The Latest Step. You Know, We, We Tend To Find Forms Of Delivering Stories That Fit Our Times.

I Believe That When People Experience An Event As A Community It Can Transcend And Change People's Lives.

I Never Felt Totally, 100%, Patriotically English... I'd Seen A Lot Of The World By An Early Age - Sort Of Spent A Lot Of Time Traveling Around Lebanon And I'd Seen Babylon, And Damascus, And All Sorts Of Places In The Middle East By The Time I Was Ten. Then We'd Return To Ruslip In West London... Done A Fair Bit Of Traveling Really.

Rather Than Something Like King Kong Where I Really Went After Studying Gorillas In The Wild And Captivity. I Based Caesar [ From The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes] On A Real Chimpanzee And I Worked With Terry [notary] On A Lot Of Chimpanzee Movement.
