I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.

More quotes by Andy Serkis
Mountaineering has always been a huge hobby of mine.
Andy Serkis
That's what I think is the biggest challenge, is just being still and learning how to just be present in that stillness and not over do it, not over act.
Andy Serkis
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.
Andy Serkis
Performance capture is a technology, not a genre it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.
Andy Serkis
My sons have to learn that you take the rough with the smooth and they've seen a lot of smooth in the years that they've been around. They didn't see the early years. But both my mum and myself are actors and we constantly tell them it's not easy. But they understand that.
Andy Serkis
There is always that potential in the same way - Roddy McDowall ended up playing Cornelius to Caesar [in the Planet of the Apes]. Two different characters. That's the joy of the craft. Bring it on I say.
Andy Serkis
My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.
Andy Serkis
Acting is acting, as far as I'm concerned and, you know, how you manifest it is, at the end of the day, not the point. It's how it affects the story & how it affects the audience. And if people are hungry to be told stories, using, using this form then there's a reason for that.
Andy Serkis
Yeah, I mean, climbing's always been a massive hobby of mine up until, kind of, recent times when I've had family, but no, it's been a driving passion in my life and, uh, I've always wanted to climb the Matterhorn. It was the mountain that, sort of, inspired me to climb, as a youngster. So, it was great to be able to get to do it.
Andy Serkis
Gollum is Gollum - though in 'Lord of the Rings' he's 600 years old and in 'The Hobbit' he's 540, so he looks a little bit more handsome.
Andy Serkis
I think there will always be a particular generation of actors who think that they're going to be replaced by robots. But certainly the emerging actors understand that that's part of the craft.
Andy Serkis
It's a really unique situation where you just - you make independent films or you make big blockbuster movies, but it's very rare when all of those ingredients come together, and you can really tell a story that you care about with a character you absolutely love with the people you love making movies with.
Andy Serkis
I just directed The Jungle Book with Cate Blanchet and Christian Bale.
Andy Serkis
In terms of animation, animators are actors as well. They are fantastic actors. They have to draw from how they feel emotionally about the beat of a scene that they're working on. They work collaboratively.
Andy Serkis
I'd already started directing short films when we were doing 'Lord of the Rings,' then videogame projects.
Andy Serkis
I've always thought of acting as a tool to change society. I watch a lot of actors and I see panic in their eyes because they don't know why they act and I know why I act. Whether I'm a good or a bad actor, I know why I do it.
Andy Serkis
For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.
Andy Serkis
Acting is a sort of pressure cooker that allows the fizz to come out the top. God knows what I'd be like if I didn't have that.
Andy Serkis
Originally when I went off to work on 'The Lord of The Rings' I got a call from my agent saying that I was just going to do a voice. But I couldn't really approach it like that. To get Gollum's voice I had to play the character.
Andy Serkis
The learning curve is 'The Hobbit' is being shot in 3D.
