In A Personal Way, To Do With

35mm Film Isn't Ticking Away So It's Subconscious - Performances Are Allowed To Breathe In A Much More Real Way I Think.

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.

The Matter Is - We Are Actors Playing Roles [in Planet Apes] And They Happen To Be In This Instance Apes But There's No Difference. In The Scenes That We're Playing, If We Were To Block Out The Scenes As Actors In Costumes, It Would Be No Different.

I Love The Whole Kind Of Notion Of Transformation For Me Is (what) Excites Me About Not Only Acting, But Storytelling. I Love, I Love That Notion Of A Slightly Larger-than-life Artistic Truth, You Know, Magnifying Real Emotional Truth (or) Finding Something About Human Condition (which), You Wouldn't Necessarily Think You Can Learn From Characters Such As Kong Or Gollum, But Actually They Are, You Know, These Huge Amplifications Of A Human Psyche And I Suppose Those Kind Of Roles Have Always Attracted Me Definitely.

Working From Home Is So, So Hard Because I Want To Be Present For Them And Yet There's So Much To Do Work-wise. That's The Biggest Challenge For Me.
