I have a great interest in victorian musical & cabaret performances and weimar artists so the references are there, to cabaret and also all that jazz and other films where, where there's a kind of (influential german playwright bertolt) brecht-ian approach, almost to the character standing outside of himself or, in this case, he's "self-séance-ing."

More From Andy Serkis

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.
Thinking Dancing Listening
The larger the german body, the smaller the german bathing suit and the louder the german voice issuing german demands and german orders to everybody who doesn't speak german. for this, and several other reasons, germany is known as 'the land where israelis learned their manners'.

Period films to me are very often alienating to the audience. there's very often a formality. a staunchy quality to them that comes from the misenscene. it also comes from the performances of the actors, because they're acting victorian which really means that they're just acting the way they've seen previous actors act victorian.
Mean Acting Quality
My grandmother was german. she didn't teach any of her children german. she really wanted them to be american. and now, she's since passed away, i get so frustrated sometimes. i'm like, "oh, oma, why didn't you teach your kids german?" my dad would have spoken german to me from birth, and i would have spoken german.

Ian didn't come. he just sat here with you--he said he didn't care what you looked like. he wouldn't let anyone else put a finger on your tank at all, not even me or mel. but doc let me watch this time. it was way cool, wanda. i don't know why you wouldn't let me watch before. they wouldn't let me help, though. ian wouldn't let anyone touch you but him.' ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. his voice was so low that i was the only one who could hear. 'i held you in my hand, wanderer. and you were so beautiful.

You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.

I came to a dead stop and began major revisions. sometimes these entailed the shredding of all existing manuscript for a fresh start - an inefficient way to write a book, though i found it exciting.

Wonder is very important, because if we never wondered, we would never get to the point of asking questions. yet wonder may lead people to write poetry or to paint pictures or to pray, as well as to ask the kinds of questions about the world and themselves that can be answered by science.
