I've Always Thought Of Acting As A

I'd Already Started Directing Short Films When We Were Doing 'lord Of The Rings,' Then Videogame Projects. So Peter's Known That I've Been Heading Towards Directing For A Long Time. But I Always Thought My First Outing Would Be A Couple Of People And A Digital Camera In The Back Streets Of London Somewhere!

I Think We Can Be Very Narrow-minded In This Country; You See Something That Someone's Done And Immediately Want Them To Do The Same Thing Again - But If They Don't, They're Criticised For Not Doing The Same Thing Again, But If They Do They're Just Repeating Themselves.

I Do Listen To Myself Sometimes And Think, 'is My Moral Compass So Easily Swayed By The Characters I Play, Or Is It Me Growing As A Human Being?'

For Me, I've Never Drawn A Distinction Between Live-action Acting And Performance-capture Acting. It Is Purely A Technology.

People Are Mystified By It And So They Kind Of Think, The Acting Community Thinks They're Gonna Be Replaced By Cg Characters And Animators Think They're Gonna Be Replaced By Performance Capture (and) A Lot Of Directors, Particularly European Directors, Who Have No Experience Of It.
