The art of transformation is a very important thing to me, and I always believe I can say something more truthful through characters that are further away from me.

My livelihood depends on the art of animators.

In a personal way, to do with family and the father-son relationship, in a kind of artistic way with regard to him being an art student. I also studied the visual arts at Lancaster University. I then decided to become an actor as he was becoming a musician. And then as an actor/performer, we have similar sort of interests - music hall and that whole world. So, there's a lot that I felt connected with.

Games aren't going to go away. BAFTA's got a category for games as an art form. The Academy should think about that, too.
