A lot of people have asked me to do answer phone messages for them Picture Quote #1

Playing a character in a video game is different to other performances because your character can’t lead the audience of players in one direction Picture Quote #1

When I first was offered the role on Rise [of the Planet of the Apes], I always played Caesar as a human being within ape skin Picture Quote #1

J.J. Abrams is an all-time hero of mine, really lovely to be working with him Picture Quote #1

I think Caesar is one of the most empathetic characters that I’ve played. I think that’s the key to a successful leadership. Being able to keep your ears open at all times Picture Quote #1

I think that Gollum is really the character who is a very human character, and he’s very flawed, like most humans are, and has good and bad sides Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Where as you go into playing something like Ulysses [on Black Panther], you go - I’m going to have this haircut and this cloth, you draw from different stimulus Picture Quote #1

I’m a Mac user. I think it depends on how you were brought up, and I was introduced to Apple quite early. They’re certainly the best for visual stuff and film-directing Picture Quote #1

I do have anger management issues. Not clinical. Probably no more than most people Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Hobbit’ was one of the first biggish books I ever read. I remember vividly the ‘riddles in the dark’ passage, and it meant a lot to me to finally get to play it after all these years Picture Quote #1

Actors’ performances do not stand alone in any film, live action or whatever Picture Quote #1

The process of acting is no different [playing human or ape]. You’re embodying the character. You’re creating the psychology and the physicality. You’re living the moment Picture Quote #1

My dad was working abroad, in Iraq, and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him, in Baghdad, off and on. For the first ten years of my life, we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad, so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East Picture Quote #1

In the same way ‘Lord of the Rings’ was an interpretation of the book, ‘The Hobbit’ is being treated the same way. It will be faithfully represented with a fresh interpretation Picture Quote #1

You never really know why you become an actor: it’s a visceral thing, an emotional thing Picture Quote #1

If it was a great script and a great character, I would love to do a romantic comedy Picture Quote #1

I think my mum wanted me to join the army or something, or become a surveyor - something with good career prospects Picture Quote #1

More and more good actors are now transmigrating into the videogame space and playing roles there because it’s where my generation of kids get stories from Picture Quote #1

Originally, I thought, ‘Gollum’s such a fantastic character, why are you doing him CG? Surely you need to be able to humanise him as much as possible - he’s so full of pathos and real emotion.’ Picture Quote #1

Gollum’s never really gone too far away from me because he’s indelibly kind of printed into my DNA now, I think Picture Quote #1

I’d like to think that we strive in film and theatre to tell great stories, and I believe in the power of storytelling in our culture Picture Quote #1

A lot of actors on film sets... very often they’re not paying attention to the physical world around them. I think through studying art, I’ve always had that awareness and that’s something that I’ve wanted to bring in to go beyond acting... As a form of expression, they are intrinsically linked Picture Quote #1

My natural bent is to have an overabundance of energy, and motion-capture essentializes your every breath, your every move. Seeing yourself through that mask, you realize how far you can pull back and make the performance even more powerful Picture Quote #1

You’ll very rarely find that you can enhance a performance to give it a real emotional centre and truth... after the fact Picture Quote #1
