I Do Listen To Myself Sometimes And

I've Been Writing And Wanting To Direct For A Long Time.

I Mean, In Many Ways, You Know, I Felt Very Connected To Ian (dury) On, On A Lot Of Levels. I Mean, Politically, & Sort Of, Socially, Our, Kind Of, Social Backgrounds Are Quite Similar In Many Ways, As Well As Our Kind Of Artistic Endeavors. So There Were Many, Many Things That Sort Of Chimed In For Me, And Kind Of Made Me Feel Very Instinctive About Playing Him, And, And Although, There Was Sort Of A Certain Amount Of Impression Involved, Actually, There's A Lot Of Myself In The Role.

People Think, 'oh, Well How Can 'the Hobbit,' Which Is One Book, Become Three Films?' But You Can Take One Line From An Appendice And It Turns Into A Whole Sequence.

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

You Don't Go - Oh This Is A Motion Capture Role, I'm Going To Employ This Method Of Acting. We Don't Have Anything To Hide Behind When We're Doing This.
